Can I download an earlier version due to apps not working with 4 & 5 ?

My computer got a virus, and in the process of fixing the problem, my Firefox version ( 3.6 ) was deleted. I was using this earlier version of Firefox pre-Firefox 4 & pre-Firefox 5. I did not upgrade because a service I was using ( IKEA kitchen planning ) is not enabled for 4 or 5 at this time. The IKEA planning site is very important & necessary for me at this time.

Thanks

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, get the Firefox 3.6 installer here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older

You should be able to install Firefox 3.6 over whatever later version you installed. If you do choose to uninstall first, 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!
