Meh ! My opinion . Vista and XP are just too old. I used to be a lot more "vintagey" with operating systems, but i find it just holds you back. Worrying about compatibility and what not just starts to waste time. I'm even in the process of migrating to LTSC because Windows 8 is starting to get long in the tooth, mostly because all of these browser fork authors are changing their minds on a whim about development direction. One starts to realize there's more to life than worrying about areall this stuff. To each their own though.

I wish they had done this with ESR 140 instead. Especially since e3k-etc and r3dFox are in a bit of a limbo state right now. I really just wanted to run ESR v140 for the rest of the summer

I guess the way I look at it is: we had a perfectly good compilation of current Firefox in both release and ESR flavours that already worked on Windows 7 and 8x. That's all I want. XP and Vista can now be damned whereas 7 and 8x can be more easily made to work. I'd be happy if e3k-etc could just release a more up to date version of v140 ESR. He already has it working with with v140.0.11, so just recompile the next one. Sigh!

But based on v91?

Did I read this right? Is Firefox for Windows 7 now kaput? https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Firefox-for-windows-7/issues/170#issuecomment-5009245854

So, really? No one is interested in this at all ???

I know these forks are free, and it's their time, but if you're going to commit, then commit. Don't deliver because, "I don't feel like it". The browser artist known as e3k-blah (I friggin love that), is not going to further compile any ESR 140x builds. I appreciate these builds, but either deliver consistently, or don't.

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
