Is Firefox ESR more stable? Uses less memory? Have you tried it?

  • I use it on one machine because it’s the only thing available there. I frequently have problems with web sites that refuse to work because my “web browser is out of date.” Google, in particular, is bad about it, and even seems to actively user agent mocking from working. I know that’s not FF’s problem, but it is a severe issue that makes me wish I could update to a newer version.

      • One was a Google app; it insists the web browser is too old and must be upgraded for security; I’d have to go check which it was - gmail works, as does search, and I don’t remember off the top of my head which didn’t.

        The other is the site of Republic Services, the trash company. I don’t know if the main page is borked, but you can’t get to the account page to pay bills; it gives you the same “browser too old, upgrade for security” message.
