The good thing is that I have Nightly made portable with its own profile, so updating and corrupting the profile did not damage my data. I had to add a policy to block updates, but it affects all versions of Firefox. Quote Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox] "DisableAppUpdate"=dword:00000001 Edited September 23, 2023 by ED_Sln Added a registry key. 2
broken120x120 Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) From a purely technical and compatibility basis, would you guys recommend updating to v117 or sticking to v115 ESR? Edit: How far can Windows 8.1 go? Edited September 23, 2023 by broken120x120
Mark-XP Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 From my purely instinctive "mozilla-experience" basis i'll stay on 102 ESR alap, and if then any important(!) site will not work with it in the future, i'll install v115 (parallel) for it.

I don't think there's much point in keeping v117, even though it's newer in features, but eventually, in a few years both will be equally obsolete. But ESR will eliminate vulnerabilities found during the support period. 2

Since 120 Nightly will be released tomorrow, I think it will run as well. It‘s going to be the fifth post-EOL version to run on 8.1 1

I did not see 120 in the Mozilla FTP, so I couldn't try that yet.
