[SOLVED] Downgrade firefox 57.1 ON Tumbleweed

rabidlinux · 12-18-2017, 11:56 AM

Hi All,
Started working on tumbleweed today and its been very cool.
The only issue is the new version of Firefox 57.1 killed all my video downloaders
and I need to revert to the older version. Could you give advice please and help.
Or should I go to plain opensuse 42.3?
Thanks
Rab

Go to Mozilla's site and look for 56 ESR for Linux.

57.x changed the way they do lots of things including various add-ons and extensions. Originally on my Windows 10 laptop it didn't allow for Java No-Script because of this. Java No-Script has since release a version for 57.x. I wish the newer version still had the "tempoarily allow all this page" like the older did but its still better than Firefox without No-Script.

I guess you can use "firefox-52.5.2esr". The latest ESR is / will be updated with the latest security patches.

Link : https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/.../linux-x86_64/
.. Example, install :

Code:

1. Download firefox-52.0esr.tar.bz2
2. # zypper rm firefox
3. cd /usr/local/
4. # tar xvf /home/name/Downloads/firefox-52.0esr.tar.bz2
5. cd bin/
6. # ln -s firefox/firefox

Hi all,
Fixed by returning to 42.3 and everything is good now
