Thanks for the link to the portable version. I'll try that one out for a while, and see how it goes.
I believe it was actually some folks here who recommended I try ESR quite a while back, but I hate changing my browser, which is always set up just how I like it, so I was slow to act. But I'm having issues with Pale Moon, which was a good substitute for the regular Firefox for a while, but now I have to make a move
I'm not willing to update to the newest Firefox. Some changes were made a few years back that really didn't work for me (can't remember what it was called, but I'm sure lots of techies in our midst know what I'm talking about, since it was a huge controversy). That's when someone told me that ESR doesn't have that problem, and to give that a try.
The only other alternative for me would be to go try out all the other Firefox-based browsers, but I'm really not up for spending the coming weeks tinkering with browsers. I just need something that works. So I'm crossing my fingers ESR will do the trick.
Thanks so much!
