Hi there,

My firefox was lagging so much that I opted to uninstall and then reinstall it. Unfortunately, the version that is available wouldn't work with my old version of Mac. It is OS.10.11.6 Is there an older version of firefox that I can use it with (or even restore?)

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

Note: With some versions of Firefox, the data files are not backward compatible. If there is an issue, create a new profile and we can tell you how to recover the data.

If you still want to downgrade, look under; I still want to downgrade. Click the Directory of other versions and languages link. Look for the directory of the version that you want. But, remember that old versions may have security issues.

To actually answer the question of what latest Firefox version you can use and where you can get it and not have to dig through links.

Firefox 78.15.0esr was the last version to still support Mac OSX 10.11 (ten.eleven) as Firefox 79.0 and later has required Mac OS X 10.12 (ten.twelve) or newer to run, including Fx 91 ESR and Fx 95 Release.
