I use property bee and the valuations tool bar all the time. When I upgrade to Firefox 5 I did not realise that these would no longer work. I need these so i want to go back to the previous version of firefox - it worked just fine! how can i do this?

Chosen solution

If they worked in Firefox 4, there's a really good chance they will still work in Firefox 5.

Extensions for Firefox include a list of compatible Firefox versions. You can ignore add-on version restrictions by (what else) installing an add-on. Then you can test whether the add-ons important to you actually work in Firefox 5.

Add-on Compatibility Reporter :: Add-ons for Firefox

Please report back on your results.

Oh, and due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.
