Firefox Version for Windows 7
I need to install a browser on a Windows 7 laptop that I'm trying to get operational so the files / data can be migrated to another platform. I would like to use Firefox if possible.
I'm thinking I would need a prior version. If so, what version should I choose and where do I get it from?
The current / legacy browser is Brave but that has been disabled by installing Bitdefender as part of the ongoing cleanup process. --Thanks

On Windows 7 you need to install the current Firefox 115 ESR release as this platform is no longer supported.
Firefox 116 requires Windows 10 as the minimum and users on Windows 7 and 8 and 8.1 have been moved to Firefox 115 ESR.
Firefox 115.9.1 ESR:
