Latest versions of firefox are not playing nice with the old version of RedHat/Fedora that I am running on one of my systems. The firefox version I had on there is now corrupted and needs a reinstall. Upgrading the operating system is not an option. Where do I find old versions of firefox for download? I can only find versions 3.6.15 or later on the mozilla site, search as I might.

If you're trying to get Pogo Games to work that's probably not going to work. I just installed it the 3.6.12 on my and still had the white screen. I went back to 3.5.5 and it's working in pogo. I will update to the highest that will work as soon as I can get a minute. Just thought I'd warn you guys in case you're trying to get pogo going again. = =

Thanks for the suggestion, UncleD. I did find oldapps via Google but it appears only to provide software for MS Windows, an operating system I do not use. I have since discovered that all Firefox versions can be obtained from the Mozilla ftp site ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ Why this does not appear as a link more prominently on the Firefox download page I do not know.

UncleD there is no no need to go to a random unofficial download site when Mozilla has all versions since the beginning available to public. Also not that the OP is using Linux, something that the oldapps site does not support anyways.


duncombe The ftp.mozilla.org is Not mirrored and it hosts the old versions that is not still hosted by the mirrored releases.mozilla.org

Also old versions are a potential security risk http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/

By the way the current updates for Firefox 3.6 and 3.5 are 3.6.16 and 3.5.18.
