I use Firefox as my browser on Windows XP OS. I am concerned about the security of accessing my bank accounts after August 2018 when Mozilla no longer supports Windows XP.

You are already putting yourself at risk using Windows XP. It hasn't received a security update in 4 years, meaning that hackers, viruses, etc. can have free reign on your computer without you ever knowing.

I strongly suggest you purchase a new computer, or install linux if you know how, because using XP on the modern web is NOT safe.
