    So I just downloaded this buggy piece of shit, and I'm already regretting it.
    I don't have the latest 1080p monitor so text in FF is all fuzzy, customizing the user interface sometimes just nukes the whole damn thing, and even better, when I hover over a link to a thread, I don't get an empty preview bubbly. Wow. And I'm pretty sure it's not any faster.
    Way to fuck up a good thing.
    How do I roll back to FF3?
    Oh and TGR also has scroll bars on the sides. And granted, I'm sick, but the text is all kinda out of focus. It's really fucking with me.

    Edit: Yeah, rolled that bitch back. Wow, what a piece of shit. Total shit.

    Chrome FTW. It renders pages quickly and I like its relatively cleaner look. If you're worried about tracking, just use the Unchrome tool.

    To roll back, do a backup of your settings and profile data, bookmarks, etc., uninstall the new version that you just put on there. Then reinstall the older version that you wish to use.
    Once you have the data backed up (mozybackup is one way or there is a manual process discussed on the Mozilla support articles.
    Also read this for more info on installing the older version:

    3.6 just installed over 4 and kept all my settings...and I'm not thrilled with Chrome.

    I had also switched to chrome ,which was then faster, ,but now they seem about equal subjectively
    My guess is it's doing less error correction, which is also why pages seem to load faster.
