Hi there, I'm trying to make a little old machine useful it is an HP mini (Laptop) with an Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N455 @ 1.66GHz and 2GB of RAM; it appears the firefox version is too old to install some extensions/add-on like uBlock... I don't want to throw it in the trash; any recommendation please?

Your Firefox reported itself to be version 113. As described in the relevant support article, you need a newer version, such as Firefox 115.21.0esr in order to have the new certificate used to verify extensions: Update Firefox to prevent add-ons issues from root certificate expiration.

I don't know whether your distro only has Firefox 113 because that was the last compatible version, or whether you can install the Extended Support Release of Firefox 115 from Mozilla. Is there a community for your distro that might have discussion about that versus updating the OS first?

Meanwhile, you could take a look at:

For you to be stuck on Firefox 113.0 likely mean your Ubuntu (or flavour of) distro is EOL in package updates support.

Either you need to update your Linux distro to a current supported version though that may be harder when it is 32-bit and not 64-bit. I think Ubuntu 18.04 LTS may be the last to have i386 32-bit ISO.

Or you can use the Firefox tarballs from Mozilla *they have both 32-bit and 64-bit version) where you need to make sure the Firefox folder has read/write permissions for the user to get internal Firefox updates from Mozilla.
