Hello I am presently running OS10.9.5 on a MacMini from 2013 because there are some expensive programs on there that I will lose when I update the OS. I now know I need to do that regardless. My question is: What OS version should I upgrade to for a secure version of Firefox and, MOST IMPORTANTLY... will my Comcast email account and bookmarks be carried into the upgraded Firefox browser? Thanks. a concerned Gary Bellucci

For the old eol macOS 10.9, 10.10, 10.11 the most current Firefox you can run is the old Firefox 78.15.0esr which you appear to have. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-mac-osx-users-esr

Firefox 79.0 to 115 ESR requires macOS 10.12, 10.13, 10.14 at minimum to run while Firefox 116.0 to current requires macOS 10.15 or later to run. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-users-macos-1012-1013-1014-moving-to-extended-support

If your hardware allows for an upgrade to macOS 10.12 or later then you can use the Firefox 115 ESR which is currently at 115.19.0esr.
