Aside: I suppose I should clarify that I am not the OP.

Then, more to the point, maybe I use incredibly old browsers (e.g., Firefox 
52.8.0 in Wheezy), and the bank(s) (and similar places that I sometimes deal 
with) insist on less incredibly old browsers -- in any case, I often get 
messages to the effect that I need to update my browser to work with a specific 
site.  

(Then I (usually) switch to my Jessie or Buster installation, which I will 
transtion to completely, one of these days, or maybe not.)
