Installing an older version of firefox
I'm trying to install an older version of firefox. My Selenium script requires that the system be able to open firefox by issuing the command firefox from anywhere.
I created a symlink from the download directory into /usr/bin like so:
sudo ln -s ~/tools/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
Now whenever I type firefox I get this message:
The program 'firefox' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install firefox
Why does apt-get try to find it instead of just calling it from /usr/bin?
