When I opened Firefox today, it updated itself to a version that I no longer recognize and I hate it so far. I'd like to revert to the previous version that is familiar to me. How to do this?

It happened again. All my favorite links have been replaced with a FireFox search engine. It's 1:30 AM. I'll give up for now and try to restore the version I'm used to.
Edit: OOPS; The the favorite sites that used to be displayed as icons was replaced with a list of those on a pull down menu accessed by a hidden down arrow on the address bar. Missed that the first time around. I'm too embarrassed to reveal the machinations I exhausted to find that out.

Use ctrl+b to bring back the Bookmark menu . Most of the sites I had exported earlier show up under a file From Internet Explorer. Newly bookmarked sites go under Other Bookmarks unless you change it when you save it. Instead of going back to another version, save your favorites folder and you can put it in your current favorites folder if you ever have trouble again.

Thanks, Roger. I'm finding my way around now.
Edit: The pull down memo dropped all the sites I thought it was saving. I would sure like to return to the page with icons of my favorite sites. Any idea on how to do that?
Edit: Found it, had to set FireFox as my home page. Still learning; it just takes a little more effort.
Thanks for your input, Paul. Fire Fox is what I'm used to, but I will take a look at Opera. Fire Fox has improved and is faster than it used to be. What is it that impresses you about Opera?
