I'm also finding that Mypal is even much faster in rendering  
pages than FF on my XP system.  Pale Moon may have similar  
performance.  I only stick with FF on select sites that have my  
login creds remembered.

But my whole experience is just confirmation that technically  
there is no reason to abandon a 32bit browser it happens to be  
operated on XP.  Mypal proved that continued support for  
today's sites is possible.  My goodness, and we're only talking  
about supporting a simple web-based audio stream.
