How can I go back to version 3 so my addons will all work again. I'll wait until the addons say they'll work on 5.0!

When 4.0 came out a few weeks ago, I updated. I was unhappy that I lost a couple plugins that wouldn't work. Then I got the message yesterday to update immediately to 5.0. Since 5.0 came out so quickly, I figured it was something I should do on this one computer. My other 3 computers are still running 3.6 with all my plug-ins and addons working. Now I'm missing quite a few plugins that won't work with 5. Can I REVERT back to 3.6 on this computer until everything is made compatible with 5.0??? If so, how do I do it so I don't lost all my bookmarks. I don't want to totally uninstall firefox. Please don't make me go to using IE!!!! I've used this system since Netscape!

Firefox 4.0 was released in March, over 3 months ago. If you have some add-ons that haven't been updated yet for Firefox 4.0, much less for Firefox 5.0, it is time for you to find similar replacements for those add-ons. IMHO, extensions like that should be considered as "abandoned" by their developer.
