So, currently i installed a old version of firefox in vms and actual xp machines, some of you might have seen a firefox instance open with just gibberish.
This is because it has an auto-update function, which opens every once a while, this auto-update function opens a firefox instance, and tries to download a update, this updater tries to connect to an link that no longer exists, which causes redirects to shady sites, and you can't stop it, since it only runs in the background. The only way to get rid of this updater is to delete the following file "Updater.exe".
So if you ever install an old firefox version, make sure to delete "updater.exe".
