Using Firefox 78.7.0esr (64 bit) on Opensuse 15.1 on several websites (tumblr, a bank, some others) I get a message like

Are the programmers of those sites stupid or is my OS 15.1 so very outdated?
I think there have been changes in the encryption protocols (for https). Besides that, there have been found many security holes in that time that have been plugged.
Maybe you can get a modern version directly from the firefox site that works.
(I restrain from updating/upgrading because of the huge amount of work that a new install brings with it [direct upgrades haven't worked for me in the past, left a lot of confusion in /home in app properties of changed versions etc., and because of some missing programs in the new versions, like support for my many reiserfs backup disks)
Well, upgrades in Leap from one minor version to the next are minimal. The longer you wait, the jump size and the pain increases.
The upgrades never touch the home partition, anyway.
About reiserfs, it was going to happen one day. You should not have any problem reading them, though.
There is another issue, though: encryption system change with the years, you should consider to reformat those disks with modernized encryption. It is possible that older disks are vulnerable.
I have a similar problem, though: I have reiserfs backups on DVDs.
thanks. so I will put my time his weekend into upgrade to 15.2 then to 15.3, hoping to follow (and understand) the correct how-to I find on the web :-) I am updating the complete backup's right now, before I start.
