thank you for your time & expertise:) Can you please help me understand what would happen if firefox stops supporting windows 7 users. Will i still be able to use the browser - just with less security? I will probably have to give up using a computer if I cant continue with Windows 7 so I'd even be prepared to pay an annual fee to keep the support going. Look forward to hearing from you, thanks Julie

Please forgive me if this already exists here (I suspect it does). Search tools did not yield what I was looking for.

TOPIC: Extended Support for Firefox 115 ESR

First, let me extend a hearty thank you to everyone on the Mozilla team and in the community that is continuing work on 115 ESR. This is helping a number of people that cannot upgrade for various reasons.

115 ESR is the last hope for many who are stuck on macOS 10.12-10.14 or Windows 7-8.1. While these systems are considered *very* out-of-date (users who are still on them are often chastised) they have a place. macOS for example, completely removed any and all support for 32-bit software as of macOS 10.15 ("Catalina"). I have encountered people with needs for 32-bit to run older apps and so they often keep a system running 10.14 ("Mojave").

Now, can old 32-bit configurations be kept around and isolated offline? Yes. But for some out there who cannot afford to upgrade, or cannot be with out specific 32-bit software, they would be forced offline completely (assuming they follow best security practices, which many do not). I have personally deployed 115 ESR on a number of systems to help people in this situation.

For the time being, ESR 115 is permitting these users to stay online with some degree of security, at least where web browsing is concerned.

QUESTION: Besides active user count, what other factors are keeping 115 ESR in active security-only support mode?

Mozilla Firefox ESR

What is ESR and why do I have to update it every time I log into my computer? It's a pain and if it's not necessary how do I get rid of it?

Hello,

I'm using Linux Mint 17.3 (Rosa). Firefox version is 78.7.1 esr-linux amazon. I want to update to the latest Firefox that would work with this version of Linux Mint. It seems maybe this can't be done anymore. Looking at Firefox software on the machine, it says it's Up to Date. I really still want to update it. I know Mint 17.3 is really old and will replace it. Firefox does work, but I'm now getting sluggish Internet because Firefox can't handle all the security requirements. So many web pages don't very well anymore. Can someone help?

My MacOS is 10.13.6 (cannot go higher on this machine). Since update to 15.119.0esr, embedded map graphics are no longer showing. The map graphic sub-window instead shows "Sorry, we have no imagery here" in several places across the map. I am getting the same for multiple websites, including the location maps in Zillow.com . Google Maps works fine, and I think the problem is isolated to maps embedded in pages. Did not have this issue last week, prior to updating to 15.119.0esr. This is SO BAD that if it's not fixable, I want to revert to 15.118...

There are no OS updates available for my computer hardware (nor have there been for quite a few years), just to quash that right off the bat.

The last release for 10.11 is 78.15.0esr (64-bit).

A number of websites do not load or outright refuse to load (the whole cloudflare hosting system, imgur, daily motion, youtube nags about it, even the login system for mozilla support renders quite oddly).

So I'm requesting an updated release. I realize there may be limitations due to libraries that have similarly abandoned 10.11. Thanks.

Hello, I am experiencing unexpected behaviour with local storage in Firefox Portable ESR 102.1.0 on Windows 11. In particular, the data is not deleted as expected after closing the application, even after clearing the cache in my code, the data persists when I open the application the next time. This behaviour is observed under windows10 but is common under windows11.

I suspect that this issue may be related to:

  • Interactions between Firefox Portable's cache management and Windows 11's system-level caching
  • Specific behavior of the ESR 102.1.0 version on Windows 11

I would appreciate it if you could investigate this issue and provide any insights or solutions.

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?

Firefox today advised me to upgrade as my current version will cease to function in the near future. I am currently running Win 7 x64 and Firefox 102.10.0 esr . Attempting to update results in a request if running Win 7,8 or 8.1 to also download and run additional 115.18.0esr . Attempting to run either 115.18.0esr OR Firefox 128.5.2esr results in a screen stating firstly "Windows 10" and secondly "Unable to install this version requires Win 7 x64 or newer". Win 7 x64 IS the version I'm running.
