Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, May 30 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-- with the demise of the Windows 7 and 8amp 8.1 operating systems, major software developers have begun to stop supporting related platform content. Coupled with the end of Microsoft's extended Security Update (ESU) program, third-party developers have to stop supporting the old platform.

Currently, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome have taken the lead in abandoning support for the old platform, and while Mozilla continues to support Firefox users on Windows 7 and 8.1, it is clear that this cannot last forever. After months of deliberation, Mozilla is finally ready to announce the end of support date for its service.

On May 23, Mozilla released version 113.0.2 of Firefox, which fixed a variety of Bug. CTOnews.com noted that Mozilla has published a support document on its website, announcing that Firefox 115 will be the last Firefox browser version to support Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users.

According to reports, customers who do not want to upgrade to Windows 10 or 11 can use Firefox 115 extended support version (ESR) by September 2024, and Mozilla has promised to continue to provide users with 15 months of security updates and sufficient time for users to upgrade.

Microsoft ended its official support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 in January 2023. Unsupported operating systems do not receive any security updates and there are known vulnerabilities. Without official Microsoft support, maintaining Firefox for outdated operating systems is costly and dangerous for Mozilla.

Of course, for die-hard fans of Windows 7, whether the knot is over or not may mean nothing to them. after all, some people still use Windows XP because they like it, which is enough.
