I've been running Waterfox Classic for years. I have an ancient Phenom II machine and on this machine and others, I have been experiencing a high rate of tab crashes with Waterfox Classic.
To fix that on the PCs I run that support SSE 4.2 (the Phenom II does not) I have installed Waterfox G4.0.3.1. After figuring out how to import my Waterfox Classic profile and finding a good cookie plug in (Forget Me Not) as well as installing uBlock origin, I am a happy camper on all but the Phenom II PC.
So here are my requirements.
Any suggestions would be welcome. I am thinking about replacing this PC with more modern hardware, but the current situation with prices are giving me pause about doing that since I have another, more powerful PC that I would also like to upgrade.

So here are my requirements.
- Gecko based so that I may import my Waterfox Classic profile on that machine (lots of bookmarks, etc, that would be a pain to recreate)
- Supports Firefox plugins.
- I really only need browser functionality
- Preferably aimed at those who value privacy.
- Not necessarily aimed at the tech geek. I.e., it has to be relatively simple to customize without an indepth understanding of the inner workings of browsers. (Yeah, I know. It sounds silly, but I would prefer to not take the time to have to figure out what the "simple" settings do.)
- Not necessarily highly optimized like Waterfox needing SSE4.2 - must be able to run on Windows 10 Phenom II PC.
