Netnanny told me that if I wanted exact browsing history I needed to download an earlier version of firefox as the current one doesn't work with it.

How can I download an earlier version?

I could find the directory of earlier versions, but then wasn't clear how to download and run them.

Thank you!!!

You should not use old versions of browsers, it leaves you and those who use your computer vulnerable to attack. Netnanny needs to update their software to support modern browsers and not leave you vulnerable
