I have an old industrial PC (Allen-Bradley VersaView) that I need to use to display a web page with stats on the industrial control system. What is the latest version of Firefox that will install on windows 2000 as we have tailored our web product suite to Firefox and Chrome.

Firefox 12.0 was the last that Windows 2000 could support. Firefox 13.0 and later required Windows XP SP2 and later Windows. The future Firefox 53.0 and later Releases will be dropping WinXP/Vista support.

You might be able to get more newer versions of Firefox running on the ancient Windows 2000 with some OS hacks. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=2482475

Extended security updates support for Win2K from Microsoft ended back on July 13, 2010 by the way.
