read 'announce' of new release for firefox-45.5.0, then for
firefox-45.5.0,
decided, wrongly, to upgrade. my bad. nothing but problems.
on opening what moz devs considered as 'latest and greatest', found that
it
was more crapola from moz devs.
first run was to login with my isp, only to find page would not fully load
and a message bar saying;
Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading [Allow]
clicking [Allow] button only cycled with same. 10 more clicks, decided that
was enough.
now, i would like to roll back to earlier 40.x, but no can do because of
deleting 40.x to make room for new release.
now have /var on it's own partition and have room for updating.
3 questions;
1- anyone else having problems with 45.5.1?
2- where might i find earlier releases of 40.x?
3- if i install 40.x in path /var/lib/yum/plugins/local/,
will i be able to roll back.
hoping for positive replies to #2 & 3#.
replies/suggestions greatly appreciated.
tia.

An exploit built on this vulnerability has been discovered in the wild targeting Firefox and Tor Browser users on Windows. I haven't noticed any difference in behavior from the previous update. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

Long answer: You're trying to install arbitrary versions of firefox with known vulnerabilities. You're also using something that isn't supported in CentOS and possibly built against a distro that doesn't have the same build environment and base libraries. It sounds like you've already got a bunch of local customizations that could possibly be preventing a working web browser. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
