As far as I know, the dropped CPU compatibility is currently just a compiler flag (they now build with SSE support by default). If you need to run Firefox on older hardware, you currently can still build from source. Also, distributions can still choose to build Firefox without SSE support, if they want.
I'm curious though: Do recent Firefox versions yield acceptable performance on such dated hardware?
