I take your advise lasardo and I truly have to look at a new computer. So you sent me back there and I clicked the very top one and there it was. Thanks lasardo, I saw the link on James response and I clicked it but when I saw all the different directories I got confused.
Thank you for your help as I do appreciate it and the third alternative to this would be to not do anything at all but I would like to get back a little of the usefulness of this computer that is going away with each website that updates way beyond my old 20.0.1.
#MOZILLA FIREFOX FREE DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION FOR WINDOWS XP UPDATE#
So my question is two fold: 1) What would be a good version to update too that would load easily and run? 2) How do I back up my current Firefox information so it will load into the newer version? If I need something really new I have an iPad that I use and I consider it expendable if something got a hold of it and corrupted it. So I'm very careful where I go and what I click with this machine. I fully understand the security risks of these older versions that I'm taking but to maintain the old programs that I am using I don't have much choice. In doing some research I see that Firefox version 52.0 "funnelcake101 for a 32bit windows machine" might be a good stable version. About five years ago I attempted to update Firefox and this caused many issues and I was lucky to get back to the current old version I'm using now which works fine. I am running Firefox V20.0.1 and it's worked just fine until about the last six months when I started to "algorithm" exceptions and other things on different websites I have used for years that apparently have "enhanced security".
I realize this is an old machine but I have old programs (that won't run on the new machines) that I use every day and it does everything that I need of a computer. I have an old Windows computer running Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, SP3.
