Restore previous version to Firefox v56.0.2

Question

I am in the middle of a research project in which I am capturing a great amount of imagery from newspapers.com. The new add-on for Firefox v57 1) increases the length of time spent capturing images fourfold and 2) does not allow saving those captures directly to a dedicated flash drive (your only save options are to directories on the C: drive), further compounding the time required to capture images.I discovered these problems on one of my other machines and made a conscious decision to stay with what worked. Guess what? Firefox insists on pushing v57 uninvited! The first time, I was able to reinstall v56.0.2 and re-enable the FireShot add-on that worked. Now, Firefox has again forced v57 on my machine, but this time, I cannot enable FireShot. If I cannot save these images quickly, I'm simply going to have to find a different method.

Accepted Answer

Sorry, this is not possible with the FX57 version. You need to downgrade to the FX56 version.

My question, which remains unanswered, is how do I get the FX56 version?
