It's a common problem. Glinks is built with EMX, which exports functions
slightly differently then kLIBC, which is what is used for Mozilla. As
you found, restricted LIBPATH.

Downgrading the browser isn't really supported by Mozilla, usually works
but not always as they don't care or test.
Really if you need something to load URL's that don;t load with old
versions, the newer the better.
Yes, if you disable an add-on with 31, it'll be disabled in all versions
and everytime you load the newer version, it'll do the add-ons check.
There's probably a preference to disable checking compatibility, but I
can't find it looking quickly.
You could use different profiles for 10 and 31. You'd need program
objects for both with the -p parameter pointing at the correct profile
along with -no-remote if you want to run both at once and of course,
isolating the LIBPATHS
