Firefox - Downgrade

Hi,
There is tutorial how to downgrade your Firefox:
  1. Download version you would like:
    • http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
  2. Following commands:
    • tar xjf firefox-xx.xx.xx.tar.bz2
    • sudo mv firefox /usr/lib/firefox-xx.xx.xx
    • sudo mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-old
    • ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-xx.xx.xx/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
      • If your new firefox can not run, do this thing:
        • cd firefox
        • mv firefox-bin firefox.sh
  3. Disabled automatic updating:
    • Edit -> Preferences -> Update
    • Checked: "Nerver check for updates (not recommended: security risk)
Now when you open Firefox it should be expected version instead of current version.
Good luck!
