Question

I want to restore my old version of firefox. I also want to restore my security that was disabled and all my plugin and add ons. How do I return to where I was?

Answer 1

The only fully supported and updated versions of Firefox are 3.6.22 and 6.0.2. All other versions contain security of stability errors that have not and will not be corrected.
'''''"...my security that was disabled..."'''''
Any toolbar that your security application installs into Firefox may have been disabled because the developer has not updated their toolbar.
*The functioning of your security application should not be affected, just the toolbar.
*You can try updating your security product as some security application developers have recently released updates of their products that are Firefox 6 compatible.
*You can visit and/or post on your security application developer's forum to see if they can make suggestions for you or let you know about their plans to update for Firefox 6 compatibility and to confirm that your security application is still fully functional, just the toolbar is disabled.
Firefox has a built-in function that provides one of the major functions of most security application toolbars. '''''Safe Browsing''''', the built-in Firefox component, will warn you when you try to go to a known Malware or Phishing site:

I can see many plugins that were not disabled; click "More system details" to the right of your original post.
If any extension(s) other than Java Console (see below) were disabled, please reply with a list of the disabled Extensions and/or Plugins (Add-ons > Extensions and Add-ons > Plugins).
'''<u>Java Console</u>'''<br />
Unless you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages, you do not need Java Console. Java update will install a new Java Console with each update. Removing the Java Console extensions has no effect on the functioning of Java for web browsing. You can see, '''''but not remove''''', the Java Console extensions in Add-ons > Extensions. Java Console extensions can be safely removed '''''manually''''' by following the instructions in this article:
