I need to install firefox version 24.3.0 on centos version 6.5. Anyone know how I can do that? I tried downloading that version directly and it fails with: XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/local/lib64/firefox/libxul.so: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Couldn't load XPCOM.

On top of the all the ways they've been screwing up the interface for a while now it was the final straw. -- Steve

NSS/NSPR version minimums are going to apply for firefox, so you will not be able to go back very far. But that is OK as most firefox upgrades are critical anyway, so browsing the web with outdated versions will be very dangerous anyway .. hint, don't do that. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The machine the tests have been running on had FF 24.3.0 and it died. The new machine has 31.2.0 and the tests are failing. I want to see if it's due to the different version.
