As I work in the Aviation Industry winch is highly regulated and we have prepared Weight and balance programs using Windows XP we can not change them as the cost of doing so would be over the hill, Also may of the Accounting Programs and other world Airlines are retaining XP because of it proven reliability! As a result We do not want to move form XP and we certainly will not let Micros soft run our Industry to! 

Also We also run "Out look Express" as our E-mail program and are not prepared to move to less convent Programs like " M.S.Out Look"

Hi, So do not. Is there a question here ? Have your IT people ask if there is a issue.

How does that issue relate to using the Firefox web browser?

You posted here using that last version of Firefox that is compatible with WinXP, and Mozilla isn't going to support WinXP beyond Sept 5, 2018. Mozilla supported WinXP a few years beyond what the "competition" did, and the end has come.

You should look into using SeaMonkey, Pale Moon, or Basilisk as your web browser; all three are built on the Gecko browser engine as Firefox used to be until Firefox 57 Quantum. Many people consider those three as "clones" of Firefox, but they do have some features that were never part of Firefox.
