I have a Netbook, which MUST use XP: Firefox CRASHES on it 98% of the time; IS there a VERSION of Firefox that is compatible with WinXP (Netbook)?

I operate a netbook (aspire one; Intel Atom processor), and XP is the ONLY LICENSED OS for the netbook (I MUST run XP). However, Firefox CRASHES nearly 100% of the time. ALWAYS when loading Hotmail (email).

IS there a VERSION of Firefox that is COMPATIBLE with Win XP?

Do you have an alternate browser suggestion? I've tried to find a previous version of Firefox, but I haven't found one. I do NOT want to run IE.

Very appreciative for any help you can provide.

Drats! "Navigation cancelled"; I uninstalled Firefox last week because the conflicts were so great. Now it appears I am unable to access any relevant data.

Sorry, but thanks for the help EdMeister!

I'm assuming I'll have to reinstall FireFox and documents crash reports. <sigh>
