How to go back to an older version of Mozilla FireFox on Ubuntu Natty Narwhal.
I need to connect to my company's vpn using F5 vpn pluggin, it is a web-based vpn client that my company uses for remote connections to their network.
I upgraded my home computer to Ubuntu 11 Natty Narwhal and lost the ability to connect because FireFox 4 has no support for F5 plugin. I was forced then to revert or downgrade my version of FireFox to 3.6, but this was not as simple as I thought.
Step by step instructions:
- Uninstall FireFox 4 via Applications -> Ubuntu Softawre Centre
- Download FireFox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
- Unpack taball tar -jxpvf firefox-3.6.17.tar.bz2
- Run via termianl command ./firefox/firefox
Done
if you want firefox to work from the command line and get recognized in the toolbar make a symbolic link ln -s between usr/bin/firefox and wherever you extacted firefox
