Mainstream Support for Vista ended on Apand Extended Support will be pulled on April 11, 2017. Keep in mind that Microsoft retired Mainstream Support for Windows XP on Apand then pulled Extended Support for the operating system on April 8, 2014. Mozilla correctly notes that “unsupported operating systems receive no security updates, have known exploits, and are dangerous for you to use.” The company also tells enterprises that September 2017 should be considered the support end date for planning purposes and “strongly recommends” that all users “upgrade to a version of Windows that is supported by Microsoft.”Īnd yet Mozilla is taking its sweet time.
After that, it may continue for a few more months, but eventually the browser won’t get new versions on those operating systems. This means Mozilla will provide regular Firefox security patches for XP and Vista users for nine more months. Unlike Google, which in addition to old OS X releases also dropped Windows XP and Vista support, Mozilla decided to keep supporting older versions of Windows. In August 2016, Mozilla dropped Firefox support for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, OS X 10.7 Lion, and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
