How did you bypass it? Sorry. I seem to have been confused, and have misled you. I too have Firefox-52.9-ESR on my WinXP VM; it was my Win7 VM, on which I upgraded to Firefox-86.0. Notwithstanding my confusion, on WinXP, Firefox-59.2 can successfully display the MinGW FRS pages on OSDN.net, and download their package content; Internet Explorer can do neither, and mingw-get, which depends on the same underlying WININET.DLL, cannot download packages. -- Regards, Keith.
