But only in the ESR version
There is fresh data on how long the Mozilla Firefox browser will support Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 operating systems. According to the company, the support period will end in the third quarter of 2024, which means that updates will come for more than a year. To be more precise, the support will end only in September next year.
Firefox will be relevant on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 for more than a year
This is especially important against the background of Google’s policy, according to which support for legacy operating systems ended with Chromium/Chrome 110.
It is noted that until the fall of 2024, Firefox version 115 ESR will be supported, which will be released on July 4, that is, exactly one month later. It is on it that all users of outdated OS will be automatically transferred. The assembly will receive security updates, but you should not expect new features in it.
At the moment, the share of Windows 7 is less than 4%, and the total share of PCs running 7, 8 and 8.1 is slightly more than 5%. Recall that Firefox will have its own chatbot.
