I am using Ubuntu 14.04 (it works best on my older system). I had upgraded to Firefox 57 and, after days of trying to make it work, I removed it from my system (I still have the ~/.mozilla directory). I want to reinstall v. 56 (I know about the ESR version but do not want it as it updates along the lines of 57).
I would like to know how to install FF v56. I have downloaded firefox-56.0.2.tar.bz2 and tried installing using the instructions located here but I end up with a separate directory from my mozilla directory. I am just looking for a simple, clean method for manually installing FF 56. Any ideas?
ls /var/cache/apt/archives/ | grep firefox
firefox_57.0+build4-0ubuntu0.14.04.4_i386.deb
firefox-locale-en_57.0+build4-0ubuntu0.14.04.4_i386.deb
NOTE: The reason the other question/answer is not related as I am not downgrading, rather I am re-installing.
