You must be the life of party, huh.  smile   Good that you pointed that out, though.  Also, plugins at /usr/lib/mozilla would be shared, and maybe there are more shared resources..

pedro:

Thanks for the info link.

" withouth the need of deinstalling firefox 60 esr"

Hm...  that's a good to know.  Now I can have both versions installed without conflict because the older version is outside the apt system.

"Find the older package in /var/cache/apt/archives and install it... "

This particular old package was not in the cache archive.  I am guessing that's because I purged it (instead of uninstalling it) and that also removed the package from the cache as well?

Thanks for the info.  Good to know how to roll back to an older package no longer available at repo.

"to install firefox 52.9 i download it from ftp and then just change the shortlinks in "favored applications" to the firefox directory ..."

I basically did the same - downloaded the older version tar package from mozilla archive.  Are "favored apps" links  the same as "preferred apps" links?

Let me steer this into a more general devuan topic.

When you need to roll back an update or install an older version of a package, how would you go about it?

Thanks for the replies.

After resyncing package index, I was able to download firefox-esr 60.9, but I ended up getting the older version (esr 52.9) from mozzila archive.

I suppose there is no way to get the devuan deb package for the older version (esr 52.9) from devuan repos?.

How can I download and install firefox esr 52.9? 

I had to purge it due to config problem, but I cannot get the version from the repository.  It only shows version 60, and I need 52 due to the old-style extensions I need.

I am on amd64 ascii (stretch)

EDIT:

I am also unable to download the newer (60) version.  From aptitidue, I get the error message

"http://dev.devua.org//merged ascii-security/main amd64 firefox-esr amd64 60.2.2esr-1-deb9u1 [ERROR]
404 NOT FOUND [IP: 151.101.24.204 80]"

Has there been some changes to the repos?  Do I need to update sources.list?

EDIT 2:

I tried to download the package using apt-get and this is what I get:

root@black:/tmp2# apt-get download firefox-esr
Err:1 http://deb.devuan.org//merged ascii-security/main amd64 firefox-esr amd64 60.2.2esr-1~deb9u1
