How can I install a specific older version of Firefox and keep it from automatically updating?
- by Matt V.
I wrote a bash script to configure a suite of tools for continuous integration on top of Ubuntu 10.04.2. The script recently stopped working and I tracked the problem down to the newer version of Firefox that was just released. The image of Ubuntu that I'm starting with already has Firefox installed, but I need a version in between what it comes with and the latest.
Here's the code I was using:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
echo "y" | sudo apt-get install firefox
How can I instead install Firefox 7.0.1 and keep it from automatically upgrading to the latest version?
If I can, I'd like to avoid installing Firefox manually, so I can more easily use apt-get later, once the issue I'm running into gets resolved.
