    While I'm here, has anyone been able to compile either Thunderbird OR Betterbird v140 for Windows 7 and 8x?

    Sorry - I meant top left.

    OK good! So the Firefox 153 DOES run with Windows 8! ... e3kskoy7wqk said he is ONLY supporting Windows 7 on this beta and may restore support later. I am a wee bit worried, so I'm sticking with his ESR 14.x builds for now.

    Can you hide the "Search Tabs" button on the top right?

    So if one were using LTSC 2019 (installing it fresh as of April 2026), does that mean we would not have access to all required updates? If I ran the latest cumulative update, we'd be all good and caught up, correct?

    Mozilla really should allow ESR 140x to be backported. If r3dFox and Firefox for Windows 7 can do it, then ...

    The way I see it, we now have this ... https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Firefox-for-windows-7

    I'm using his Firefox ESR builds. They suit me fine. For now, that is

    I still have LTSC 2019 setup, and heavily customized, but I'm putting off using it. I really enjoy Windows 8.

    Yeah I remember years ago, I used to be very against using old OSs such as XP because of security update issues. Then I relaxed on it, but over the time morphing my stance to just include Vista and up. Now, with my fully ditching any trace of Vista or older, I stick to JUST keeping Windows 8 going. I don't care about the security updates so much. It's just that I like how Windows 8 looks and feels vs Windows 10. However, I've really started to see Windows XP as archaic. It's odd for me to think that in 2025, Windows XP has ANY place on a running PC, but this time around, I'm not really worried about how others feel about my expressing that opinion. It just is what it is. When I made a comment in one of Roytam1's threads about using Betterbird vs MailNews or Interlink, I was reminded that the goal was to have a client running on XP or higher. My first thought was, "Oh yeah - that!" It feels more like an irritation that won't go away, rather than a goal to aspire to.

    Oh I see. I thought you meant his Firefox builds for 7 and 8. All good then. Whew!
  13. Jody Thornton
    Where are you reading that Windows 7 and Vista are not supported?
  14. Jody Thornton
    Well the forks do. Not the standard product. And there are other applications other than browsers that have challenges. Anyway, all good
  15. Jody Thornton
    Oh yeah! That! (weird how you forget that this is meant to target XP, once you leave it behind. I'm more of the mindset that says, "Can it at least run on Windows 7 or 8", as that's a challenge now)
