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

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

Ah, sorry, I thought I'd mentioned this, but this issue popped up on 
multiple lists, so this solution must have come up on another list. I 
also thought Rusty had already run apt-cache, and I would have assumed 
anything in the archives would have shown up with that command.

I've used this in the past to roll back Thunderbird/Firefox in the past 
when issues have popped up, but when I checked this time, I didn't have 
any old versions of Firefox in my APT cache archives, although I heard 
of this issue before I updated to Ff 25.
