Having switched to Zen Browser, something I miss with Firefox was its stability. I find myself looking up Zen browser bugs and workarounds too much. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I’m downgrading Zen versions due to a bug in the stable version, I never had to do so during my years on Firefox. Devs on Github making an app on their free time have can’t spend as long on QA as a multi-mullion dollar organization.
I’ve never needed to downgrade Firefox.
Never had to downgrade. Never had any problem
Never.

They haven’t released a stable yet and are clearly labelled as beta releases. Maybe there’s a hint why it’s unstable.
Never had to downgrade FF. However, I HAVE had to install an older FF theme on a newer FF because information density reigns king on my screen.

Be careful doing that as you may very well be undoing security patches
I’ve been using web browsers since NCSA Mosaic, and I don’t recall ever having needed to downgrade.
Never.
Never, but I recently switched to Zen so idk if I’ll find myself doing that in a few weeks/months too.
The only time I did was WAY back during the launch of Firefox Quantum. It was a huge back-end change pushed overnight to the main branch, breaking most extensions including one I similar couldn’t live without at the time. I even switched to PaleMoon for a while until everything sorted itself out.
Been using LibreWolf for almost 2 years now which does a good job at gutting all the parts of Firefox updates I don’t want.
I know it was a long time ago but I would avoid Palemoon like the plague going forward. They don’t seem to care about security and the browser is highly vulnerable.
