April 18Apr 18 It looks like we've managed to identify the cause of the virtual memory leak on XP x64. It turns out to be GigaCage, which has been enabled by default since version 92.0.4486.0. Edited April 18Apr 18 by mjd79

For now, the version is v91, and they’ll keep updating it until they reach the current version (or run into a problem they can’t solve), while version 91 is just a test version to show that progress is being made and to see how it works in general. Chromium for XP also started out as these kinds of test builds, and once they managed to bring the version up to the current one, the old repository was archived and a new one was created, which already supports XP+.

Chromium for XP also started out as these kinds of test builds, and once they managed to bring the version up to the current one, the old repository was archived and a new one was created, which already supports XP+. 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!
July 24Jul 24 A lot of misconceptions have arisen, and there are many voices of discontent. First, as ED_Sln mentioned, version 91, which e3k released, is just a preliminary milestone. Second, even though the Chromium for Windows 7 rework was designed from the start to support XP and Vista, it’s much better than the previous version. I think the same will be true for Firefox for Windows 7 Rework. Edited July 24Jul 24 by mjd79
July 24Jul 24 Author Version 94 is already available, so updates are coming out quickly. There are no links to the build, so here's a screenshot.
