Hi

There are no plans to do that at the current time as they are no longer supported by Microsoft.

Firefox 116.0 and later requires Windows 10 or later. The EOL Windows 7, 8, 8.1 is still being supported by Firefox 115 ESR (current is Fx 115.8.0esr) and the last update will be Fx 115.15.0esr in September 2024. Other major web browsers already dropped support for the EOL Windows 7, 8, 8.1 back in Jan/Feb of 2023. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-users-windows-7-8-and-81-moving-extended-support

Firefox 52.9.0esr released June 26, 2018 was the last for the then already EOL WinXP/Vista. Mozilla supported the EOL WinXP/Vista over 26 months longer compared to other web browsers like Chromium, Chrome, Opera, Edge as they dropped support of the old EOL WinXP and Vista back in April 2016. Yet some still think Mozilla should still somehow support WinXP/vista for years more.
