I thought I'd drop some code here, in case you might want to run 2 versions of Firefox. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, and running the old version 48. Your results may vary.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
# After running this script, you need to do some things:
# 1) Go to Firefox prefs and turn off updating
# 2) Make your home page http://dev
# 3) Install Firebug
# 4) Install FirePHP
#
# Finished
$FFDIR/Firefox-48.0/firefox -no-remote -P firefox48
else
printf "Extracted archive directory did not exist\n"
fi

printf "Archive did not exist\n"
