I have on old MacMini that cannot support updates for Firefox, but I made the mistake of downloading 48.0.2 when it was offered today. Now my Video Download Helper is gone and so is my AdBlock and I cannot find versions that are compatible with this browser. How do I find the old versions of these add-ons and get back to where I was?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-osx - Firefox support has ended for Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8

Firefox 45.9.0esr will be the most up to date version with security fixes that will run on OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 as Firefox 53.0 and later requires OSX 10.9+

The Firefox 48.0.2 was released August 24, 2016 and is missing several security updates that the Firefox 45.9.0esr released on April 19, 2017 has.

On the extension page on addons.mozilla.org scroll down to where it says Version Information and click on it to see a "See complete version history" link.

I'm guessing you mean Video DownloadHelper. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/versions/ Version 6.3.1 Released May 1, 2017 Works with Firefox 36.0 - 56.*

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-for-firefox/versions/ Version 2.6.0 Released Dec. 22, 2016 Works with Firefox 38.0a1 - 51.*

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/versions/ Version 2.8.2 Released Nov. 22, 2016 Works with Firefox 38.0 - 56.*
