How do I downgrade Firefox v. 57 to v. 56?

https://askubuntu.com/questions/977138/how-do-i-downgrade-firefox-v-57-to-v-56

• For Ubuntu 17.10:

Note: this works in artful all the time because artful got released with firefox being
version 56.

# see footnote (1)

sudo apt-get install firefox=56.0+build6-0ubuntu1
sudo apt-mark hold firefox

We are after the line which tells you the package name for version 56, which would be in this
example 56.0+build6-0ubuntu1. this you simply put into the following lines:
# see footnote (1)
sudo apt-get install firefox=<package version>
sudo apt-mark hold firefox

Whenever you feel you want to update this package again to 57 or whatever version is current then,
you can simply do (see (2)):
sudo apt-mark unhold firefox
sudo apt update
sudo apt install firefox

When you start the downgraded firefox for the first time you might get a warning that some
extensions (language) which are available in firefox 57 are not compatible with version 56. After
one time checking those for updated versions, which will find none, firefox will start normally.

Footnotes:

(1) The first will install the last version of firefox 56, even if you have 57 already
installed and the second command will block this package from updating (see (2)).

(2) Normally holding/unholding firefox alone suffices for what you want to
achieve, but if in doubt holding/unholding 'firefox\*' will hold/unhold all
additional packages beginning with firefox too.
