Genuine question, why would you still use firefox v56 in 2022? isn't that a massive security issue?

Because it’s last that runs on WindowsXP if I remember correctly.

  • Why would you use Windows XP on an Internet connected PC?

    • Hardware firewalls provide some protection against the kinds of threats XP faces. More to answer your question; I'm running the latest available versions of Windows 10. I sometimes use FF 56 for its consistency in behavior, XPI addon support (NoScript and uBlock still function), customizable UI, and for critical tasks (banking (affected by the Cloudflare problem)). I use FF 90+ for daily driving, and I despise it.

    • Because machine is connected but didn't use internet.

      It's for accounting purposes only - making invoices. Probably for one month it's used for hour or two max.
