Like the title says, currently running 41.0.1 on a server 2003 SP2 but when I tried to install 41.0.2 manually (since it wasn't "seeing" an update) the installed complains that XP SP2 is required.

Hmm the Windows Server 2003 SP1 is still among the minimums you need for each Windows version since XP SP2.

The only Windows requirements change I recall in last while is the Win64 builds requires 64-bit Windows 7, 8, or 10.

Did you try the full setup for Windows from www.mozilla.org/firefox/all ?

Same result: "Sorry, Firefox can't be installed. This version of Firefox requires Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or newer."

Today I attempted to install version 43.0.3 .

Still can't install.Same message as before.

Tried by using the 244kb stub and downloading the full version. No difference.
