If you want to install an old version of Firefox, you just have to follow these steps:
In this case, I had Firefox 4.5.0 and now I want to install Firefox 47.0.1
First, open your terminal
- Download firefox 47.0.1
wget https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/47.0.1/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-47.0.1.tar.bz2
-
Unzip Firefox
tar -xjvf firefox-47.0.1.tar.bz2
-
We remove the old version
sudo rm -rf /opt/firefox*
-
we move the unzip firefox 47.0.1 to the firefox folder
sudo mv firefox /opt/firefox
-
create symbolic link
sudo ln -sf /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
