When you install ANPM, it will download a bunch of RPM packages and 
install them in @UNIXROOT\usr after asking which drive to use for 
@UNIXROOT (set UNIXROOT=x: in config.sys where x: is a drive with room 
for perhaps a GB of files). It'll also adjust your config.sys to put 
x:\usr\lib close to the front of LIBPATH.

This is only needed for really old versions of FF, before v4 IIRC.

Hmm, FF45 is going to be hard to run with that little memory and slow 
with that CPU. It may not even be worth using as the CPU will be pegged 
too long and likely the swap file will thresh.
You will need patience to run it
