Future of Mozilla Firefox on Windows 7 and 8x

Featured Replies

Other than a Ghacks article mentioning that Mozilla was not quite decided on its support plans for these OSs, I have not seen any other news on this (which I had hoped would be a bigger story).

One theory seems to suggest that the current ESR 102 will be supported until June 2023 (when ESR 115 is released}, or until August 2023 when the last ESR 102 update drops.

Has anyone heard any additional information?

Probably 115esr last for 7. Disabling 7 - 8.1 and 10 32 bits will free up time for 10 and 11 64 bit.

Does new Nightly based on Firefox 116 work on Windows 7/8? 

In past, Firefox 53 with some modifications was doable on Vista, so that's why i ask.

Edit: mistook the developer branches...
