https://archive.torproject.org/tor-package-archive/torbrowser/ I can't
tell you which version, but you can find it here.

4.0.4 is the version of the entire Tor Browser Bundle archive.  You
could fairly easily use an old Firefox version, and point it at a
local little-t tor instance but you would not be running Tor Browser,
and would lose the fingerprinting, unlinkability, and proxy bypass
defenses.  You could also use an old version of Tor Browser Bundle
that used an old version of Firefox, and point it at a recent version
of little-t tor, but you'd lose the protections where you need it the
most.

In general, running old versions of FF/TBB is not recommended.  Maybe
you could elaborate on why you want to, so we can understand why the
current version doesn't work for you?

Sounds like bug I'm not familiar with...
