Installing a downgraded version of Firefox 16 from PPA
- by Mikko Ohtamaa
I'd like to fetch and install old FF16 instead of FF17 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server.
Currently FF17 is default. FF17 is incompatible with Selenium 2.26 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13600247/unable-to-run-selenium-suite-on-firefox-17
How one can install an old version of Firefox with apt-get? Can one pindown this version so that it is not automatically updated?
Also if there exists a static FF16 installation available it is a solution.
apt-cache policy firefox
firefox:
