what will the continuation of windows 7 support be based on?
So, as has been announced, FireFox 115 ESR will get updates until septempber 2025. This deadline has been extended multiple times. What factors are being taken in consideration when deciding whether to extend support again? With server 2008 updates you can get windows 7 up to date until 2026, sort of. Ending support in september would still be sad, because people too stubborn or not willing to upgrade probably still wont when support of firefox ends. I am a firefox on windows 7 user myself too, and it would be sad if they dropped support. Ill have to use a backported fork by the community
So thats my question, what factors matter in terms of extending 115 esr support again?

We decided to extend support for ESR 115 only on Windows 7-8.1 and macOS 10.12-10.14 up to March 2026. We will re-evaluate this decision in February 2026 and announce any updates on ESR 115's end-of-life then.
So unless it gets a fourth extension the last update could be Fx 115.33.0esr in February. The Fx 115.15.0esr was originally going to be the last before the extensions.
