Re: News about FireFox 60 and JFW 2018 And what about IRC, ChatZilla will not work beyond FF 52

Hello,
You can use a portable copy of Firefox 52. If you install it on a thumb drive you can have it on any computer you need to. Just make sure to turn off automatic upgrades on it and you should be fine using it for your chat client.
