Thanks. I'll take a look at them. But the reason for staying with old
versions is because I cannot access my firmware web-interface without them.
Someone thought it was more secure (for people like me) to be stuck at old
versions rather than provide an optional plug-in (after removing 40-bit
support from core).
Security has three elements: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
While it was known that 40-bit encryption was no longer secure re:
confidentiality - removing it has made anything that only supported it -
NOT available - so, also a security breach. Just my opinion of course.

So, I know librejs had nothing to do with that decision, no criticism
intended.

However, do not think I think it is wonderful that I have to use FF17. I am
getting really really tired of having to click away the message: "This
version of Firefox is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported
browser. Dismiss" on every tab I open. I am very much aware that it is an
old browser.
Updating breaks security availability, so I cannot update. I hope I have
enough "other measures", especially awareness - that I shall not be
comprised in other areas.

Again, thanks for your suggestions!
