For security your mother should be running the latest version 61.0.1 as 56 is under attack as soon as version 57 was released.

Find Updater.exe and when Firefox is not running rename it to Updater-old.exe

If need 56.0.2 https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/56.0.2/ Click on Win32 or Win64 for whatever your running then the language en-US or en-GB (Great Briton)

Thank you so much, this weekend will be dedicated to see what I can do. I will let you know, although I know the miserable results of those people with nothing better to do than to make a mess because they are not intelligent or smart enough to help improve something so they destroy things as fast as they can...sigh. Reminds me of a professor who used to say thank goodness never to me : "where did you learn to pull out the butterflies wings?"

Sorry for butting in OP

@Pkshadow what do you mean 56 is under attack when 57 is released?

Is this about using Legacy extensions? Note that it is safer to use Firefox 52.9.0 ESR, released at the same time as Firefox 61.
