XP only supports up to IE8 and that can cause problems in itself because some sites no longer support it - which version of FF are you using on the XP machine ?

my XP right now is offline a long time due to laptop screen damage !(more a year from now so I don’t have an answer :wink: )
Boggin:
I suppose if it isn't working then you aren't going to get any problems with it :) - or did you mean when it was working ?
Some people stay on older versions of browsers because they don't have any problems with them that later versions can have, but it's wrong not to keep any program up to date for security reasons.
Having said that, you could try an older version of FF to see if the https sites are still blocked.

A sort of halfway house is to use Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release). based on a stable version of firefox, it includes current security updates, but not all the new features (which can sometimes be a bit buggy). The current ESR is based on Firefox 38 and the latest version is v38.2.0
I have used ESR for years, never had any problems, but of course your mileage may vary :wink:
