    Remove and reinstall Firefox as Firefox 2

    I struggled with Firefox 3 for a while and realizing that it is beta decided to go back to Firefox 2. I did an apt-get remove Firefox and then an apt-get install Firefox-2. I still seem to have both versions installed and can start either one. My extensions have become a mixed bag of 2 and 3 versions. Neither of the versions has a back button no matter which theme I use. How can I wipe Firefox clean and start anew with Firefox 2?

    I did:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove firefox
    Code:
    sudo apt-get autoremove
    Code:
    sudo apt-get clean
    and deleted the folder '.mozilla' in my home folder...

    After those steps I choose explicit the Firefox2 package and I was happy again...no slow scrolling, ugly checkbox FF anymore

    BUT, I'm not an expert...

      Thanks. That sounds like it should do it.
