I have an old HP Pavilion a720n which will run Ubuntu 16.04 but of course slowly due to the 1 GB memory on board. It WILL connect via Firefox to the internet with no issues.
I wanted to use a lighter version of Ubuntu to allow this old computer to run a little faster so I loaded Lubuntu ( most recent ) and Firefox crashes as soon as it is selected to go onto the internet. I have run the built in "check program" files and it finds no errors.
Is there a fix for this or should I try a different version of Ubuntu to make the computer run a little faster?

You haven't told us what release of Lubuntu you are using, though I'm also wondering about the cpu in your system. I tested Lubuntu (& Xubuntu) using 1gb systems, but knowfirefoxhas cpu requirements (eg. SSE2) that your machine may not provide (I mostly tested with intel cpu systems). Does your cpu provide the requirements forfirefox(eg. mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/62.0/system-requirements but check against your unspecified version) & what is your release of Lubuntu?

How about you try a lighter browser first. Like Midorisudo apt install midori

@Parto I wouldn't suggest midori if using a Qt based (Lubuntu 18.10 up) as the libs required will chew up any low-footprint as they won't be in memory. Without knowing the release (and thus using LXDE or LXQt) we can't know if a lighter GTK+ or Qt browser will help in my opinion. The most recent 18.10 runs LXQt, however the [older but] most recent LTS runs LXDE. Rapidrob if using the most recent 18.10falkonis the lighter alternative (it was replaced with firefox due to issues with some nvidia cards)
