How do I download an earlier version of Firefox? FF 3.6.12 does not work with Salesforce.com, and they have recommended trying with an earlier version. How can I download 3.6.1? Can't seem to find where on the website. Thank you.

There is a good reason for no easy access to prior versions. Many security issues have been fixed in the most current versions (3.6x and 3.5x) of Firefox. Here is a look at the fixed issues for each:
- Firefox 3.6: https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox36.html
- Firefox 3.5: https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox35.html
If you are willing to accept the risks associated with the fixed issues, here are links to all versions of Firefox (Note: You should definitely note use b# versions, "betas", and rc# versions, "release candidates" following betas but before final releases):
