On my system I have the Blueshell v28, I think because I had it 
installed before release of v29 so I guess it is in "apt-cache" or 
something.

I think if you manage to browse the actual online repository you may 
find the necessary v28 deb-file but I have no idea how.

Otherwise try the oxygenkde add-on, you can use the CheckCompatibility 
add-on first to be able to enable oxygenkde. It is very configurable and 
you can get your "good old" FF back quite easily.
