My computer is old and I am poor. Not enough ram for new ff! What can I do?

Hello. I have windows xp, a very old hand e-machines computer and only 368 MB of RAM and a processor intel of 3.33 GHz. Even on this very old version of firefox, I get a lot of error messages and crashes. I had a newer version but had to come back to this one, because there are too many bugs!

Now I get messages that my version (3.6.8)will soon be unsupported and have no security. I am very poor;  I have no money to buy a new computer with all the latest bells and whistles just so that firefox will work: 1 gig of ram is Not gonna happen on THIS computer. SO... what do you suggest we poor folks do?

I liked firefox for years, but it seems to take place in the direction of Microsoft went: bulky, heavy programs, tons of software needed alongside more memory, tons of things, we don't want TO not but should have anyway. I guess that if you do not have terrabites now, you're not cool. This saddens me and excludes a large number of us who are poor.

It comes to my feedback and a call for help. I hope you ask my questions and tell me what version of Firefox, I can go to that will be supported for more than what I currently have. Firefox keeps getting slower and slower, the more is invented. I use it mainly for youtube videos, email and search and watch the other vids, I can barely do at home is no longer. I don't want to go, but if I have no choice. I also wish a lighter application that is very light on my limited resources. I have a lot; just a search bar; don't need even toolbars, other applications like google. Is this possible. even if I've had enough of everything for firefox 8 (which I did not)?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Uninstall your current version of Firefox if possible.

  • Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.

Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
