whenever i need to return to yahoo after browsing, it comes back with an unsatisfactory version. this is only since i updated firefow. it's really annoying. can i go back to the older version of firefox?
Recently, I updated to a new version of yahoo mail, which I like. A few days ago, I updated to the latest version of Firefox. Since then, every time I want to return to yahoo mail after browsing another site, an unacceptable version of yahoo mail takes over. It's clumsy and ugly and I don't want it. I have to sign off Firefow and restart to get the proper version back which is a real time waster. If you can't address this problem, is there a way for me to return to the previous version of Firefox? I should have known better - new versions always come with problems! Thank you, Elizabeth

Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See Backing up your information. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!
