What's New
Firefox will abandon support for Windows XP next June
Microsoft has long abandoned Windows XP, and most software no longer supports it. Mozilla has always been "conscientious". Firefox 52 ESR (Extended Support Release) has always supported Windows XP, and is the only large browser that sticks to it.
However, today, Mozilla announced that it will completely abandon Firefox, the two old platforms of Windows XP and Windows Vista, in June 2018, and recommend users to upgrade to the new version of Windows.
In fact, even Firefox 52 ESR can only be updated and maintained on Windows XP/Vista without any new features.
It's hard to believe. Three and a half years after the official support was given up, the tenacity of Windows XP is a miracle. Today, Windows XP still has about 5% of the global share, and it is quite stable.
Microsoft has not completely abandoned it. A few days ago, the blackmail virus broke out, and Microsoft released patches for Windows XP in advance, but this is the only time in recent years.
