<div>That's already there. Just pass --allow-downgrade when
starting Thunderbird (or Firefox), and it'll perform the
downgrade. I'm pretty sure once you do that, you'll be able
to use the older version without passing the command-line
flag (unless you upgrade again, of course). I think that's a
pretty good compromise, since it keeps us from silently
messing up people's profiles, but users still have a way out
if they actually need to downgrade.</div>

Just pass --- Just explain that to the average user, that does not
even comprehend there is a command line that arguments can be passed
on, or that windows uses shortcuts. Then repeat 500 times. That is
what I am expecting in the next release. <br>

Simply put, a support disaster with "add-on XXX does not work and I
can't downgrade, how do I fix that bug?"<br>
