Whilst my installed Firefox is always bang up to date through the automatic update, when I follow the "download a fresh copy" link on the FF homepage to download a fresh copy it downloads version 43.0.1 when the current version is 45.0
This has been happening to every release since 43.0.1
Any ideas why the download offered to me is always 43.0.1 rather than the latest one?

Windows 7 will probably run on your machine.
FireFox is not particular to OS version. Try here

Tried disabling that Lojzek, but no difference.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Change to Mint or one of the many versions of Linux, it is foolish continuing with XP
With Mint you get Firefox and it is updated pretty well automatically.

simple as saving your existing documents, burn the .iso image run it and install, should take
about 40 minutes to be running far better software.Such is the marvellous world of Linux.
You will be asking yourself why you put up with the other for so long.

It is discontinued. At my work we used XP until last year or the year before because of that. Now we use the old Windows 7....
Personally I use Windows 10 since 2014 and it's fast. It starts on 3-5 seconds on my Mac.

Here is a version of Linux that has been carefully designed to
be very similar to older proprietary closed operating systems
Front Page | ReactOS Project
"Imagine running your favorite Windows applications and drivers in an open-source environment you can trust. That's ReactOS. Not just an Open but also a Free operating system."

I was thinking of trying Linux mint but I have a couple of programs that are windows only. So its interesting to read about that reactos. I may well try that in the near future.
In the meantime Firefox still says xp is supported. I will try downloading it on some other xp machines to see if I ccan get the latest.
