Aug 12, 2016 3:48 AM in response to cescoemmanuelby K Shaffer,For awhile, your Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 could use the Mozilla Firefox
browser, see the version noted here, along with link to read more:
"Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) version 45 will continue to receive updates
on OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 until 2017. Version 45 is the last ESR version to receive
updates. In 2017, ESR 45 will no longer be supported...
See this: Firefox ESR page to download Firefox ESR."
If not an 'organization' you may still find this browser useful, as the main version is no
longer supported by updates: there are download links here to the ESR version:

{above quote from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-osx}
Other browsers may include SeaMonkey (also does client email) based on Mozilla.

Your model MacBook could support a later OS X, perhaps El Capitan in a marginal way
and not likely to support a later upgrade due to cut-off details about that new version.
If you chose to try to get & install El Capitan, be sure to fully backup your present OS X
and create off-computer archives to fully restore it to the present system from scratch.
Most likely, to have a different browser would be a means to buy time & learn options.
http://etrecheck.com/#about could help see what may be causing the MacBook's crash;
also system Console utility logs can show activities from those specific times to diagnose.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!
