>If you need to use file sharing with Windows XP, you only have SMB1

Out-of-the-box/vanilla XP granted, but there are still many third-party NFS clients around in addition to Windows Services for UNIX.

>it looks like Firefox is the most up-to-date option with support ending in 2018 assuming all the script blockers still work with that version.

There shouldn't be a problem with the relevant data files themselves, the issues will be firstly getting XP to connect to the relevant sources to auto-update the files, the second is for the blocker add-on to intelligently stop doing software updates when the next update is incompatible with XP...
