How to downgrade to Iceweasel 28?

[Alex Bayard]

Hello there,

Following Carsten's advice, I went to check the old versions on '
snapshot.debian.net': unfortunately theses packages need a *feckload* of
dependencies in order to be installed. Which leads me to think that using
them might not be very clever, regarding the overall stability of my
systems.

Then I was lucky to find the following packages, on one system on which I
had not ran clean / autoclean :
- iceweasel_28.0-1~bpo70+1_i386.deb
- xulrunner-28_28.0-1~bpo70+1_i386.deb

I moved theses two files on a dedicated directory, and then ran dpkg -i
*.deb, which unfortunately failed, with the following error message:

root at mysystem:/home/myuser/Downloads/iceweasel28# dpkg -i *.deb

Last I went to '
http://mozilla.debian.net/pool/iceweasel-release/i/iceweasel/': there I can
(of course) only find the latest version.

Could please someone tell me where are archived the previous versions?
