I run win 10 64bit and have been 64bit firefox for quite some time. I upgraded today to new version 57 from 56.02. This caused several of my addons to become marked disabled; most notably Downloadthemall which I use almost daily. While I realize that you are upgrading firefox, I will take access to my disabled addons over your updates any day of the week. I perused your help stuff and found a link that allows me to go back to version 56.02 which I attempted more than a few times. Alas, the link there (in the section telling me that I should not go back gives 56.02 and a link to a bunch of prior releases (none of which seem to have an installer). When I took the link to 56.02 I got a 32 bit install.. RIDICULOUS! This particularly in view of your own documentation that says if a 64 bit os is encounterd a 64 bit version of firefox.. will become the default. AHEM.. I would like 64 bit firefox version 56.02 back again.. what hoops do I have to jump through in order to accomplish this? If this is not possible, please just say so.

In the interim while attempting to get what I want back again. I finally just uninstalled 57 altogether thinking that this might be in the way of an obsolete install of a 64bit version of 56.02. all I have now.. is a 32bit version. copy paste from help ------>56.0.2 (32-bit)
