Like probably a Lot of you I don't support the unethical So-called "Forced-obsolescence" and am not planning to "upgrade" Microsoft every 18 months or so for the next 90 years on each on Every single family Computer and give in to their Scare tactics for financial, environmental and Ethical reasons.

I am currently running Firefox "Extended Support," or ESR, I think it's called. Was wondering, If I ever **DO** decide to upgrade our bloatware Spyware operating system(s), basically if they break enough Apps like Apple Likes to do to force an upgrade, how difficult or easy would it be to Migrate from ESR to the latest regular version of Mozilla/Firefox...with all my Settings, etc. still in place?

My bank recently upgraded their requirements for on-line banking to Firefox 128 and higher. I have WIN 7 with 115 on it. How do I upgrade from 115 to 128? Thanks for your help.

What do these question marks mean? Do they indicate tentatively planned releases?

Bottom line: will there be 115.22 through 115.24?

I am aware that Windows 10 will continue seeing support for the foreseeable future, but what about older versions and builds of 10?

I ask because I'm currently on a machine that physically can't update beyond version 1909 build 18363.1198 due to an issue that occurred on my machine in November 2020. So I've been stuck at that version and build of 10 for basically the last five years. While I'm trying to see if I can update it to 22h2, the last known version of Windows 10 with the hopes of enrolling in the extended security updates, that may not be feasible due to how old the mahcine itself is. Will Firefox continue to support all versions of 10 for the foreseeable future and not just those on the ESU? If so, great. If not, what version will be the last that can support the version I'm on? I don't have a Windows 11 machine yet on a full time basis (I'm testing an 11 machine out, but I may not end up keeping it) and I prefer 10 to begin with, so I would like to know when I need to stop updating Firefox itself, so that I can be sure I'll be able to keep using the browser with my current OS.

I use a 2009 Mac Mini running OS 10.11.6 dedicated for streaming. I was prompted to update Firefox to ESR which I did, replacing the older version of Firefox. The new version will not open.

It was the only browser I had. Can I undo the installation? Or download 78.15.0 somehow to restore the functionality of this Mac?

My Firefox 78.15.0 ESR on my 2009 desktop iMac is corrupt. I removed everything to do with Firefox and attempted to re-install. Cannot find this Firefox version on your website. HELP, please………..

I installed Firefox ESR today since the website said I should use it on my older operating system (10.14.6/Mojave).

Unfortunately, it fails to fully launch - the menu bar is grayed out.

I re-installed. No help.

I restarted. No help here either.

I stupidly trashed my older version - the one that actually worked, so now I am searching for an older Firefox that actually WILL work. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I am running Windows 7 Professional. I can not justify the cost of updating Installed versions of Applications at my age (86) if I were to update from Windows 7. Could you please advise a work-around to allow me to continue to use Firefox V 94.0.1 reliably after 25 March 2025. Thank you Graham Garden

Like many others I've seen here in this forum and some others, I still run Windows 7. I will _NEVER_ buy another Microsoft OS ever, again! And that goes even if I wasn't a senior on a fixed income.

That said, like many others, I would very much appreciate the ESR version of Firefox being extended for the foreseeable future beyond the 6-month extension that you just posted about. I use many of the extensions quite copiously and can't even think of not using them as some are so extremely protective and some are especially utilitarian, at that. A lot of them are not supported on other browsers even IF those browsers have extensions at all. I've used Firefox since Version 2.

Now, in case this is pertinent:

I lock the desktop computer [that I built, myself] down seriously tight with several good quality but free 3rd party soft-wares which overlap protection just enough to keep my computer safe but not so much as to conflict. I've formulated my "cocktail" over the past 30 years since I started with Windows 95 through XP and now 7.

I do NOT do bu$ine$$ of any kind on line. I do not peruse the back alleys of the internet and I'm not interested in the Black Web. I don't even use on board e-mail opting for on-line email that, again, I do not do bu$ine$$ through and don't open anything that comes in that I don't know the party which sent it. (I do find some of the scam spam rather amusing, though. LOL!) In other words, I follow all best practices other than falling into the update trap that MS has created for end users due to their incessant greed.

When or, maybe, just before I can no longer get on the internet at all with Windows 7, I WILL do my best to complete my switchover to Linux for the few on line activities that I enjoy. In the long run, I plan on utilizing a multi-boot configuration as I have software for Windows XP that I find either very useful or very amusing that won't run on 7 or Linux. I also have some software that I like for Windows 7 that won't run on Linux. I'm just not ready to do that now and won't be for quite a while in the future as I continue to learn about and how to administrate my future chosen distro of Linux as I can Windows.

All of this is why I'm asking for your patience and continued support for Firefox ESR on older OSes.

Hello fellow foxes,

I really need to use Firefox version 52ESR.MSI as I need to push it through Active Directory.

I have tried downloading the version from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.0.1esr/ ,however there is no MSI version that I can see.

I also tried downloading from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/desktop-esr/win64-msi/en-US/ but the last version is 115.

I also tried third party sites like oldversion.com but I couldn't find it.

Is there anyway I can get this version of firefox? It's really important to me.

Thanks in advance

My company relies on another company for our VM using Amazon Linux 2 and installs Firefox ESR from Amazon Linux 2 extras. We have 115.18.0esr and were getting notifications at the top of Firefox saying this would stop working on 14th March. We got 128.7.0esr but it core dumped on loading even in safe mode and when creating a new profile. So downgraded and then found another coworker faced same issue so go him to also downgrade. I then went to recreate my issue get logs and screenshots to provide to my supplier but 128.7.0esr has disappeared from the amazon linux yum repo and the notification about the need to upgrade before 14th March has also gone and gone from co worker machines. I think it was needed for plugin and cert issues but I am not sure. I realise I should reach out to the supplier for them to then contact Amazon and find out what the issues are from their yum repo and see if it is anything to do with their provided vm. But has anyone got any info on the reason to upgrade from 115.18.0esr so I can add to the issue? I know it's EOL but the message was specific and came from Firefox and links which took you to info about why it was needed but it seems weird the notification has disappeared.

Hi All We are utilising the Firefox ESR 115.21 (current release) on some devices to keep them as risk free as possible while we work on upgrading them. I was wondering if the CVE that our monitoring software is reporting as currently open vulnerabilities against version 115.21 are correct and if so, is there any plan to mitigate these in the upcoming ESR between now and Aug 2025? I would just like to understand so I can document on our end appropriately. Thanks in advance.

New update to Zen browser this morning, indicated that Roboform extension needed to be updated. Uninstalled,re-installed Roboform extension. Zen browser does not seem to use the the extension - no offer to fill passwords, etc.
