BTW, I run Waterfox on my computers now.  It's old Firefox, but keeps
up-to-date with security fixes.  I even donate monthly since I love being
able to run my ancient extensions/addons.

Of course, you'll have to save your addons from old Firefox to import into
Waterfox.  If you fail to do that, you're screwed since it's almost
impossible to get the old addons, even via archive.org.
