is there any way to go back to a previous version? this one is not compatable with hardly any of the plugins i had/need.
i need this plug in in order to use features offered by dish network. everytime I go to the site it tells me i need a plug in in order to watch tv/movies online. it goes through the download process and then at the end tells me it couldn't download the plug in because it's not compatible with firefox 5.o. Why when you change something is it so dramatic that simple plug ins can't transfer with it? This version is not compatible with quite a few plug ins i had. if I can't find a way around this i'll have to look for a different browser which is disappointing because I really like firefox and don't like IE which leaves me with Chrome I guess.

First, you could try getting an updated Slingbox plugin from Slingbox: Sling Media Support - Firefox crashes after upgrading to version 5. Does that work with Dish?

If that doesn't work, here's the process to roll back to 3.6:
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 5.
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!
