I'm hoping that it will support *something* that will champion  
the current limited useability of Palemoon and MyPal [two  
different versions] that I currently need on XP.  I've already  
spread my browser usage across three versions - only specific  
ones cooperate with the B2B sites that I need to access for my  
business.   There is new javascript stuff getting introduced  
that is starting to cause problems.

That might be 115.0?   I'm at 115.25.Oesr (64bit) on my Win7  
machine. I haven't come across a site that it does not work  
with.
