Is there an older version of Firefox that will work with Windows Vista? I updated and now it won't work.
I recently got an update notice and updated Firefox, but now I get an error message that says the page won't open. Is there an older version or a fix that will work with Windows Vista?

Hi !
If you are running a 64-bit version of Firefox, you could switch to the 32-bit version.
64-bit builds of Firefox are only supported on Windows 7 or higher.
See the article 'How do I tell if I have the 32-bit or 64-bit Firefox ? '

Specifically, which page won't open? Just one won't open or none will open?
You were able to post here with Firefox 50 on Vista - problem is on a different device?
BTW, you posted here with a 32-bit version of Firefox on a 32-bit Vista operating system.
When I first turn on the computer sometimes it will open. And I have to leave it open on my taskbar otherwise if I close it and try to open it again I get a message that says "Firefox has stopped working". If I clear my browsing history and run disk cleanup sometimes I can get it to open again. I did remove my old version of firefox and installed a new one just in case but still have the same problem.
Try a new Profile - but don't delete the current Profile, just doing some troubleshooting.

I refreshed Firefox and it is working better now, but I still sometimes get the error message 'firefox has stopped working'. Which is better than before when it would only work occasionally with some effort and by clicking on the different firefox icons. I think I am content for now, thank you for your help!
