 AA> ESR 52.8.0 here.   Do I dare go to 52.9.0 ?

I don't know what to tell You.

I got ESR 52.9.0 after I clicked the Help tab and then click the
About Firefox option and clicked the Button to check for Updates a VERY LONG
time ago.

That button isn't shown in the About Firefox window anymore when I click
that option on the Help tab.

Firefox doesn't care to supply further Updates for the XP OS anymore though
folks like You and Me still use their XP computers.

Firefox often Crashes on me and what I was doing vanishes from the screen
and the Mozilla Crash Reporter window comes on the screen.
I just click to tell it to Restart Firefox again.

Many Times - Because I have Many Tabs opened - Firefox will be real slow
loading pages.

What I do is End the Firefox Task by using the XP Task Manager and then
clicking the Firefox Icon in the Quicklaunch section of the Taskbar to
start Firefox again.    (I 'think' that has helped Me many times)

When Firefox Opens I see a list showing the Title on all of the Tabs I have
opened.

If I think the last web page I was at caused the slow down, I click on the
Checkmark by that Name so that Tab won't show up anymore when I Restore
Firefox when I click the [Restore] Button below the List.

Lately I have been clicking the Crash Reporter button to see the Details
of the Crash and then I Click in that area and press Alt - A and then
Alt - C to Copy what's in there.

Next I open WordPad and Alt-V (Paste) all of that text and then Save it
with the File Name  "FirefoxCrash-YYYYMMDD.rtf" .

I have looked at those text files some but haven't been able to learn
what caused the Crash from reading what I saved.

I'm a Man not a Cat, so curiosity can't kill me from trying to understand
what's what in this here computer.

If Firefox ESR 52.8.0 works fine for You I wouldn't bother clicking on the
Update Button on the About Firefox window.
