Looking for old stuff, I think?!

I have an Intel I5 PC that runs MS Win XP. The reason that I'm still running that ancient OS is because of whats inside it. I have two old boards in it that I still use and quit honestly can't afford several thousand dollars to replace them. And the new machine to go with them.

I need to get online to download the few pieces of software I need That are still out there. But like most sites they examine your machine to see what versions you need and it's a download and install package. So I can't use a different PC.

My question is: Is there a version of Firefox I can download that will work on XP, and not be ignored like is done to IE 8. And that I can then transfer to the XP (service pack 3) box for installation?

The most updated version that supported the ancient Windows XP and Vista was the Firefox 52.9.0esr. Even if your CPU is 64-bit the minimum Windows to use 64-bit Firefox was Windows 7 so you can only use 32-bit Firefox.

The Firefox 52.9.0esr was released back on June 26, 2018 and was based on the Firefox 52.0 release March 7, 2017 so as you can see it is almost nine years old now. Many websites may either not work well or say you need to update Firefox.

Works like a charm!

Had a hard drive bite the dust and had managed to lose my Windows backup and was starting to think I wasn't going to find something.

Thank you!
