How would these commands be converted to apt?
Meaning, on Ubuntu, I have apt, not dnf, nor yum.
Can you do a similar type thing to downgrade, and
is there something in sources.list, or somewhere else I can modify to blacklist
Firefox for the time being?

Subject: Re: [orca-list] impact firefox
57 and orca
Hi,
I've tested Firefox 57 on Fedora 27. It works with
Orca.
It's slower than Firefox 56, though I'm not sure it's not because
NoScript doesn't run on Firefox 57 yet, and that's what I'm using
constantly.
That said, all my add-ons were disabled do to
incompatibility.
So I've downgraded with:
sudo dnf downgrade
firefox
And blacklisted firefox in
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf
exclude=firefox
I've read that Firefox 56 will
have extended support, but I'm not sure how that will propagate to different
distributions.
So if you have important add-ons - better stick with Firefox
56 for now.
If not - you could try Firefox 57, and if you could bare the
speed - continue with it, or downgrade otherwise.
