I can no longer access the Bourns website "www.bourns.com". screen is blank and the status bar indicates "waiting for www.bourns.com". I have tried this on 3 XP machines with firefox 24 and 50. I also tried to use google cached pages and I see the same problem. With windows 8 and mobile devices there's access. This was operational a few months ago. Is there something new in the web space that's trying to kill XP users. Is there SSL or TSL changes that's not in this setup? Is there a setting in Firefox that needs to change? In contacting this site with email they responded with the BS of XP outdated and having security issues and perhaps IE should be used!! Can someone tell me what they have done to prevent access with XP.

This may be the problem; Your System Details shows;

Separate Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.
