FF 91.11 shows internet pages on my old P-3
Cool 🙂
But ff-91 requires more RAM than ff-78

I compiled and run FF-102 on my Pentium-3 🙂
For build i used advice from bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=1002600;filename=0001-Remove-dependency-on-SSE-instructions.patch;msg=19 (Alexis Murzeau patch)
The my problem was in rust.
Binary i386 version of rust from official site builded for P-IV (demand SSE-2)
It i compiled FF with official rust – it not worked on P-3
In debian i386 version rustс and rustc-mozilla builded for pentium-pro (demand only SSE-1)
But i386 version rustc-mozilla from debian-9-stretch repo too old for modern FF and seamonkey
I compiled llvm, rustc-mozilla and cargo from debian-10-buster
And after rebuild seamonkey 2.53.14 and FF-102
It work, but FF eat many RAM 🙂
Light sites like forum work fine, but fat sites too heavy for my hardware.
I trued view video from youtube on my CPU through FF-102 – it impossible 🙂
But i want check how work ZOOM through FF-102 on P-3… if it possible 🙂

Today i tested 3 browsers on my old P-3 🙂
My hardware:
CPU: Celeron Tualatin 1.2 GHz (12*100MHz) (socket 370) w/o SSE2
RAM: 3*128 Mb pc-133 work on 100MHz
GPU: Nvidia GF5FX AGP (nouveau driver)
HDD: IDE 5400 rpm
On my normal notebook i made new meeting in ZOOM and share desktop with MidnightCommander and turn on notebook camera
After i tried connecting from P-3 to ZOOM-meeting
FF-102 – tried and tried, but not connected to ZOOM. I think FF very hard for my P-3 hardware – FF eat all RAM and hard use swap
Seamonkey 2.53.14 – slow connected and able view share desktop and read/write in chat, but can not view from videocam and audio not work because i compiled SM w/o webrtc
Palemoon 31 – connected (a little faster that SM) but work only chat and shared desktop. Palemoon not have webrtc too.

And i found problem with audio on FF-102. With SM and PM internet radio and internet music work good. But with FF no sound. Maybe problem with security in about:config or maybe problem with compiled browser.
In terminal

PS:
Audio problem with alsa in FF-102 was solved through
about:config
security.sandbox.content.level=0

If you choose to update Firefox ESR from the Mozilla Firefox site, the current Firefox ESR is also 102.3 as indicated in the Firefox Release Calendar:

https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/firefox-release-calendar/page/2/#post-90368

Alternatively, recent Palemoon downloads (a Firefox alternative) are available at https://linux.palemoon.org/download/mainline/
