Yes, but we do not connect it to the web. It gets a 99% packet loss rate on our PC, either way.

Nah, I could be tempted to run it in a VM or an old computer with no network access, not for actually going on the internet!  The lack up OS and browser updates will make it a ripe target for attack, I'm sure.  Even Pale Moon and Basilisk still support 7 (which is surprising itself), but not XP!

Out of interest, what version of Firefox does that mean you're using?

Try K-Meleon, it should have a newer version of the engine than the last supported version of Firefox.

That's crazy you're actually using XP right now. I usually run some version of linux with a windows XP theme

i'm not on XP, though i have been using older versions of macOS recently on my mid-2009 macbook pro!! it's pretty slick and chromium legacy works so well with the modern web on such old software and hardware :D

Sometimes use it for the novelty, or if I need an old program to work.

All on a VM of course
