My old computer has XP and does not have enough memory to upgrade. I would still like to access the internet and am wondering if I can use Firefox on that computer. Can I transfer a copy of Firefox on a thumb drive to the old computer and install it that way? Thank you.

Download Firefox from here - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ - on a PC that does have a browser, and transfer it to that WinXP PC via a USB Flash stick.

Thank you for your response. It looks like I should have downloaded Firefox to my old computer before Microsoft stopped supporting IE 8, as my IE is no longer working and I am unable to connect to the internet.

Ask this: Can I download Firefox to a thumb drive and run it from there? in Google. There are several articles to read. This is an edit from an answer on Mozilla Support: You may consider using the portable Firefox as it can even run with Profile completely from the usb flash drive. It is not done by Mozilla however. Portableapps has been a trusted download option for several years now with the portable Firefox version. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable. "My old computer" implies that you have a new one. If not ask a friend to download it for you. I use XP as well and I may be able to help with the memory issue, Feel free to Private Message me about it.

I should have refreshed the tab before I posted. Glad to see things worked out.
