Re: [orca-list] Direct download link for firefox 24 for 64 bit ubuntu 13.4?

This solution also worked for me on Debian.  The only difference is that you
log on as root before proceeding to /var/cache/apt/archives and you needn't
preceed your dpkg command with sudo.   Thanks, Joannie.

Hey Rusty, all.

I have an Ubuntu virtual machine, so I did some poking around and discovered
the following: Old packages seem to live in /var/cache/apt/archives
(assuming you didn't do something to clean those out). In mine, I found the
Firefox 23, Firefox 24, and Firefox 25 .deb packages. I was then able to use
sudo dpkg -i to install that package as a downgrade of the Firefox 25
package.

As with all things package management, the usual disclaimers apply:
Proceed at your own risk, etc., etc.

HTH.
