Hi,

Version 52 is the next extended support release (ESR) version, so technically Firefox will support these old Windows versions until at least end of 2017.

Cheers,

Joseph

I was wondering how long compatibility for such an old operating system would be maintained.  I don't know what the latest extended release version is but those wishing to continue to use Firefox and get security updates might be able to use it longer as an extended release version.

Hi,

 

Came across via Twitter: it is likely that Firefox 52 will be the last FF version to run on Windows XP and Vista. The Bugzilla link can be found at:
