I have an old iPad (2012) that was using Firefox just fine on Friday.. On Sunday it does not work and all the browsers in the App Store say they do not work on my iPad. Is there a way around this obsolescence? Is there a browser that will work under IOS 9.3.5? Thanks, Dan Mardesich

Hey, Dan! Do you know which version of Firefox last worked on your device? Did the problem occur after updating the Firefox app? If the answer to either of these questions is no then you may have to use the default Safari browser for the time being. If the answer to both of those questions is yes then I may be able to help you downgrade your app version.

I don't know what version I was using. I thought reloading it might be the answer so I deleted it then found I was stuck. The default Safari browser also does not work and I get a message that the current version (as with everything else) will not work with my iPad.

I use Roboform password manager and it is still working. I realized that it is also a browser so I have tried that and it works mostly. Some websites load, with others I get the, "You need to upgrade your browser..." messsage.

Thanks for your response.
