Follow these steps:
  1. Download the version you want from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
  2. Exit Firefox and then uninstall it. Make sure to remove the Firefox installation directory.
  3. Install the older Firefox version. You can install Firefox in the same location to minimize any side effects. For example, the Windows registry or other installed programs may expect Firefox to be in the default location (e.g., C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox or C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox on 64-bit Windows).
  4. After installing the older version, turn off the automatic Firefox Software Update feature (if enabled).
  5. Reconfigure your firewall if you have one.
  6. If Firefox disables any of your add-ons you probably need to replace it with a version that supports a older version of Firefox.
  7. If you experience other problems, create a new Firefox profile and transfer your data to the new profile.
