441931 - wont let me downgrade back to firefox 2 from firefox 3

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 423226

(Firefox :: Disability Access, defect)

Description

[.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

the main problem is that when i downloaded FireFox 3 it was fine except that a few of the extensions didnt work, so i tried to reinstall FireFox 2. It successfuly installed but when i tried to open it it immediately crashed. It keeps on doing this whenever i try to open FireFox.

The other 'problems' im sure arent problems, there just the mozilla people changing the look of FireFox.

Also, for the component section of the bug form, i didnt know what to put this in but disability access looked the most suitable to me

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install FireFox 3 with FireFox 2 being the current
2. reinstall FireFox 2
3. Try to open FireFox (currently in version 2)
Actual Results:  
The same thing i described in the details, it immediately crashing. I can take a screenshot if necessary

Expected Results:  
I didnt think the result would change much.

I am using Aero Fox 3.0.1

my homepage was iGoogle if that helps

Bugzilla is not for support questions and that is the reason why reporting a bug asks for many technical details.

If you want to downgrade then install always in an empty direftory.
Uninstall FF3, delete the c:\program Files\Firefox directory except the plugins subdirectory and install FF2.
