homebrew-legacy-firefox

A Homebrew Tap that provides the ability to install legacy versions of Firefox ESR. A specific version of Firefox must be specified, and the cask will never be updated to point to a newer release: what you ask for is what you get. This is useful for environments that depend on a specific release of Firefox, e.g. some automated test systems. If you're looking for a cask that tracks a specific ESR, please consider tjanson/firefox-esr.

Prerequisites

Legacy Firefox is available through homebrew-cask, which is an "external command" of Homebrew. So, first you must install Homebrew and homebrew-cask.

Usage

To add the tap and install Firefox ESR 45.0.2, execute these commands:

$ brew tap jamesdobson/legacy-firefox            # you only have to do this once!
$ brew cask install firefox-esr-45-0-2

TODO:

• Implement more versions
• Implement all languages
• Add a "firefox" link on the command line to the currently-installed version
