I need to update from Firefox ESR to normal Firefox so that I may use Firefox 54. How do I get rid of ESR?

My laptop is Windows Vista, and Firefox is the fastest working browser, so I downloaded it. I can't use a few websites I need because my version of firefox happens to be ESR, and I REALLY need to change it to normal Firefox. Please help!

Hi   !

I'm so sorry,   but Windows Vista is no longer supported.

See : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/end-support-windows-xp-and-vista

Any chance that you can upgrade to e.g. Windows 7   ?

What kind of errors do you see when you try to access these websites?

Is there an error message showing or is there missing content?

Web page that work with the current release should also work with Firefox 52 unless they are coded in a weird way.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks and history and cookies and passwords and cache and exceptions, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
