Firefox - No SSE2 Edition

No SSE2 required Firefox for Pentium 3/III systems
SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 2), is a set of CPU instructions introduced back in 2000. The Intel Pentium 4 was the first to have these new instructions. However, programs requiring SSE2 leave SSE-only (or partial) machines locked out. So, Roytam1 has put an end to this issue. His custom Firefox 45 web browser builds remove the SSE2 requirement and implement new updates. Firefox for Pentium 3 systems is now here! Also, older systems, embedded machines, and others can browse the web freely!

Features:
Based on Firefox 45
SSE-friendly (Works on CPU's as old as Pentium III)
Stock Firefox features intact
Modern web rendering (HTML5)

Requirements:
Windows XP SP2 or later
Pentium III or later (earlier CPU's don't support SSE)

Recommended for Pentium IV and older systems:
Ultra One Core Patch bylooking4awayout (Requires DirectX 9-capable card)

Notes:
Roytam1's official No-SSE2 Firefox 45 code can be found here.
If using the UOC Patch, type "about:config" into the address bar of firefox, then change the following settings to these values:
image.mem.max_decoded_image_kb  -  512000
browser.urlbar.maxRichResults  -  1
