FYI you can download any previous release of Firefox from the URL below, 
and it will run right out of its own directory without being 'installed' 
per se. So you could find one that is compatible and keep it separate 
from the one you use for regular browsing. You'd probably want to run it 
as a different user on your box, and/or a separate profile.

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

Or if you don't want to worry about which user and profile you're in, 
you could try an equivalent release of SeaMonkey.

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/

Either way it would enable you to have a more secure, up-to-date browser 
for regular use while also having one that is compatible with the other 
systems you need to use.
