Hi

You are running a much older version of Firefox that is several years old but is the most recent available for your computers operating system.

Thanks. Yes, my iMac is old but still handles my needs. I do not want to buy a new iMac so will have to live with worries about security vulnerability. I have not had a problem so far.

While the Firefox 115 ESR is still being updated for security/stability fixes it is however based on the old Firefox 115 Release.

If you can update your macOS from 10.13 to 10.15 or later then you will be able to run current versions of Firefox.
