Restore with no restore points? [View all]

Is there a way to force a two day old date into system restore so I can undo all the crap that was a result of the latest firefox update? The update just came out a few days ago. Just a couple things on it. Nothing huge or drastic. Got tired of the reminders and updated.

Entire look of firefox changed and I absolutely can't stand to look at it. For some reason Win7 x 64 isn't saving restore dates. So, I have none to go back to. I've been trying to get it back to where I had it customized before but, everything seems off. Sizing, fonts, ability to move tool bars, etc.

I do have a copy of my HD on a thumb drive from about 5 months ago but, a lot has changed as far as saved bookmarks, docs, etc. So, I do have my old firefox profile if that matters. But a simple 2 day old restore would be soooooo perfect. I've changed so many other things trying to get the same look that I don't think a profile is going to do much with that. Hell, I don't know....Any way to do this?

Thanks a ton!

Edit: Since I'm a moron I also did the firefox refresh thing. I think that's what made things even worse...
