Where to Download Old Versions of Firefox [Official Links]

Need an older of Firefox for Windows, Linux or Mac? You can get the offline installers from a couple of Mozilla mirror sites. Besides this, you can also get the offline installer for the latest versions from the same sites.

These sites are basically FTP sites. As such, you’ll have to navigate through the correct directories to get the exact version you need. Check end notes for help on how to identify the directory for specific versions.
