I have Firefox 43 installed on forklift computers that have Windows XP embedded standard (SP3) and when I use the Help About to keep Firefox current it will download 47.0.1, however I noticed 48.0.2 is the current version. Once the computer is at the 47.0.1 it says it is current, however it will let me download manually the 48.0.2 as an executable and install it.

So I ask the question of what version of Firefox works with XP embedded standard?

there is a different background to this not related to xp: basically there was a startup crash with a particular third-party product (websense antivirus) that was experienced by their users updating to firefox 48. as a workaround we introduced a hotfix addon which should single out unaffected users in advance, which would then get updated to 48. this hotfix addon should get installed in the background automatically to firefox installations 47 and older, but it might take a day or two until that is filtering through to an installation.

I understand Firefox supports XP, my question is what version of Firefox is the correct one for windows XP embedded standard (SP3) since the auto-updater only takes it to version 47.0.1, however version 48.0.2 will install. Just because it installs, doesn’t mean it will work correctly. However, if it is fine and the auto-updater is in err, that is a different story.

The requirements don't talk about XP embedded standard (SP3).
