## Testing with older browsers
Some regressions only affect a specific browser version. We can install and test in particular browsers with either Firefox or Browserstack using the following steps:
### Browserstack
[Browserstack](https://www.browserstack.com/) allows you to test more than 1200 mobile devices and browsers.
You can use it directly through the [live app](https://www.browserstack.com/live) or you can install the [chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/browserstack/nkihdmlheodkdfojglpcjjmioefjahjb) for easy access.
You can find the credentials on 1Password, under `frontendteam@gitlab.com`.
### Firefox
#### macOS
You can download any older version of Firefox from the releases FTP server, https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
1. From the website, select a version, in this case `50.0.1`.
2. Go to the mac folder.
3. Select your preferred language, you will find the dmg package inside, download it.
4. Drag and drop the application to any other folder but the `Applications` folder.
5. Rename the application to something like `Firefox_Old`.
6. Move the application to the `Applications` folder.
7. Open up a terminal and run `/Applications/Firefox_Old.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -profilemanager` to create a new profile specific to that Firefox version.
8. Once the profile has been created, quit the app, and run it again like normal. You now have a working older Firefox version.
