On to brave. But wait I still need airline tickets. :<(((((((((((((((
I might call Expedia, tell them my computer isn’t working and let them find me flights.

I dunno, the requirements say “System Requirements - Windows 8 / 8.1 / 7 / Vista / XP – 32/64 bit, 128 MB RAM and 40 MB Hard Disk Space” - so it should work.

I’d dump the XP, tho, out of security concerns - nevermind that less and less programs work with it as time goes along.

You can pick up Win 7 or 8.1 install disks for a reasonable price on Ebay. When 7 & 8.1 are no longer supported I’ll be fully moved to using Linux since I’m not a fan of Win 10 and already use Linux most the time anyway.

You could try installing Comodo IceDragon in portable mode, that might make a difference:

Now you tell us!:) :non: 

I would make a new install of FF 52 ESR in a different place, and then go to the shortcut and right click, go to Properties, and under Shortcut add -no-remote -p to the end of the string in the Target box. One of mine says "C:\Program Files\64-Mozilla Firefox-ESR\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p (the \64 is because it is 64 bit)

Then launch it and create a new profile on the window that comes up. However, it seems

To install Firefox on a Windows XP system, because of Windows restrictions, the user will have to download Firefox 43.0.1 and then update to the current release.
