      Lets see if the K Meleon browser will work. I was reading about the upgrade to windows10 and that seems complicated.

        as Peter has said, I’d be going to Windows 10.
        you’ll get a current, supported OS, with all current browsers supported as well.
        I’d be backing up my data, and if you like, upgrading my hard drive to a solid state drive if it hasn’t already got one.

        since you’d be reloading Windows, may as well do that to a new, fast drive. that give the old gal a new lease on life.

          First things first.
          Let’s see if you can get your bookmarks saved from firefox.
          If this works we will do the same for passwords and history.

            I think the bookmarks are saved. I now have an icon with a firefox logo on my start up page.

                                I got it downloaded and put in the problem sites and its doing the same things chrome and firefox is doing. Thanks so much for taking the time to help with the k-meleon. Im proud of myself for getting it to work. Is the best option now to just get a new comp?
