Currently Firefox 3.6.24 is as secure as Firefox 8.0.1 is. Firefox 3.6.x will continue to get security updates until next spring, although the exact date hasn't yet been determined.


Which of the system requirements are you lacking?
Processor wise you're stuck with what you got, but RAM can be upgraded. WinXP is still supported in all versions of Firefox and will be continued to be supported until Windows drops support for WinXP sometime in 2014.

thanks for the reply. my processor is the main problem. it's embarrassing to admit, but i'm running a celeron at 600mhz. when it was brand new it wasn't exactly top of the line :) . does mozilla make a browser with fewer features specifically for older machines?
