I'm trying to install version 52.9.0 of Firefox on windows XP. The file available here does nothing when I run it. Windows doesn't show any dialogues or give errors. Nothing happens. When I check on Taskar, I can see the CPU activity go up, but the installer doesn't appear as a process. This is where I'm downloading the setup file from: [http:// https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.9.0esr/win32/en-US https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.9.0esr/win32/en-US

So I eventual found a version of 52.9.0 that would actually execute and it told me it wouldn't work on my old PC, because the processor didn't support certain instructions. Apparently versions 49 and higher weren't compatible. Then I downloaded 48, 47 and 45 and they wouldn't execute either.
