Does anyone know how to back off Firefox 13 to the
earlier version?
You can install as many Firefox or SeaMonkey versions as you care to. Just
download the bz2 archives from any of Mozilla.org's ftp mirrors, and unpack
them to separate directories in /usr/local or somewhere in $HOME. Sharing
profiles is a bad idea, so separate ones for each version should be created
and maintained. Running multiple versions is also possible, and instructions
for all this are on both Mozillazine and
Mozilla.org. To make starting them
easier, edit your application starter to add new entries that include the
full pathname of the executable and '-P <profilename>' in the command field
for each additional installation you've created.
Usually I've found that such installations will not find any installed
plugins. If you like that, you need do nothing more to set up each
additional. If you want them to find plugins, create symlinks in their plugin
dirs from the global plugin files you do want them to find. Not creating one
to libflashplayer.so means FF won't crash on Flash pages, while it can remain
available to the package manager installed version to see if and when updates
cause problems to stop. :-)
