   Yes, slow fun is no fun (in software, anyway - some kinds of fun are   
   nicer slow!).

   I agree, older versions run better, especially on older hardware.   
      
   Firefox 2 (.0.0.20, IIRR) - last that will run on '98. (I think Kernelex   
   will allow up to 3 or 4; I haven't tried.)   
   Around Firefox 28 - last before the Australis user interface.   
   Firefox 57 - last that will run the old sort of extensions.   
   Firefox 58 - last that will run on XP.   
   (I may have those last two the wrong way round.)   
   They're on version sixtysomething now.   
      
   I - even on W7 - run version 27. (Incidentally, the version of   
   DownloadHelper I have to run with that still seems to work with most   
   sites, including YouTube.) [I use Chrome for the sites that won't work   
   properly in F27.]
