How can you replace a new firefox browser with an older one in the 12.04 ubuntu? Can someone, any one please explain this to a novice that knows nothing about ubuntu? There is no good info here about how to do this. Why is it so hard to get help here? Or with ubuntu all together??

Try these commands from terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox
Here are .deb packages for every Firefox version from 3.5 to latest. Install the version of your choice.

@muru Still, nearly no third-party provides packages for 12.04. While it is supported, it is advisable to move to a newer version.– user423626Mar 26, 2016 at 15:54

@Jay Open the file with Software Center and you should be able to install it there.– user423626Mar 26, 2016 at 15:59
