Firefox end of support for Windows 8 as of March 14, 2025 and the last ''possible and compatible'' update being Firefox 115ESR version

Hi, first time writing here so I don't know what to do or expect. I recently received a warning by Firefox that as of March 14, 2025 Firefox will end support for Windows 8 (8.1 and below too) and that the last version compatible with Windows 8 is Firefox 115ESR (up to which? Before in Settings Firefox wanted to update from 115.0.3 to 115.0.3ESR now it says 115.1ESR - is this still ok for Windows 8? Are all 115 versions ok or not? Please help because I'm not a computer person, at all, with far too many gaps). Also, what happens after March 14, 2025? Will I be able to keep using Firefox 115ESR version even if I won't be getting any more updates or not? Also, I have extensions (4 ad blockers+Ghostery+VideoDownload helper) which keep updating and the warning said that extensions may not work properly anymore - so I wonder if you know if these above mentioned will in fact be affected or not, because I don't know whether to update them after March 14, 2025 or not because I'm not sure how to go back to a previous version should they not work. Too, I would like to say that you suggest switching to a newer Windows ver. (10 or above) but not everyone really wants to for one reason or another. Personally I find myself fine with Win 8 so far and don't like Win 10 while Win 11 may be too much for my old computer and I cannot afford to buy another. Also I would not attempt to upgrade to Win 10 without help (considering that others more expert had difficulties making it work or reverting back to Win 8) help that I do not have, at all - that's why I'm here now, and I don't really understand how this works either, so... Anyhow, reading on that warning page that after March 14, 2025 you would reconsider your position regarding support for Win 8.1, 8 and below (and knowing also that Chrome and Edge have ended their support - effectively leaving users stranded or forcing them to upgrade to a Windows version unwillingly) I would like to plead with you NOT to follow their example and help us, your supporters, keep using Firefox (which you say is for the people) - like I said many of us have good reasons for keeping on using Win 8.1 or below, so won't you please, PLEASE help us keep Firefox as our browser so that we too may keep using Internet? I know technology goes forward and staying behind makes all more difficult but not all can afford the same things and since I have found that there are a few of us yet I am asking to PLEASE not abandon us as others have done (leaving us to manage the best we can) but consider our plight (I know it might be a challenge for the engineers and developers but surely you can find a solution at least to allow us to keep using Firefox). Thank you.

Quite a few websites don't connect using firefox, but do with other browsers (eg my microsoft account itself). I think it's because I need to install some 'extension'. I installed the one I thought firefox support said I should, but still can't connect to some websites. What am I doing wrong or missing? I'm on latest Firefox and windows releases on a desktop.

I use a Firefox browser and a few days ago I got a message on my screen saying I wouldn't be able to use it after January 2025. I didn't read the message properly so I can't give any details.

I have looked at system requirements to update my current version but as I will explain it is not possible for me to update: I am using an old iMac - OS X version 10.9.5 The firefox version is 78.15.0esr (64-bit)

To update I need to have at least Mac OS 10.12 or later.

I am not computer literate so I cannot update my Operating System so I won't be able to download a more recent version of Firefox browser.

  • Will my current version still work after January (but with no new security updates)?
  • or will I not be able to use my Firefox browser at all?

I have DLink webcams around my home and I can no longer access their web pages to control them because of certificate issues. I have no success with Microsoft Edge running in IE mode either. Using IE mode I am able to get into two of my D-Link Camera’s web pages but with the other two (one of which is my newest camera) I get this message:

The browser you are using may have difficulty receiving images and video. If you experience any issues viewing this page, we suggest using Internet Explorer.

When I go to the MyDlink website using Firefox Version 128.5.2 ESR I get this message:

Unsupported Browser or Operating System Detected! We recommend you use Firefox 12-51/52 ESR on Windows or MacOS to access the mydlink portal.

Is there a way for me to get the Firefox version they recommend?

Hello,

I am currently using an old version of Firefox (56.0.2) for personal use because of the addons that are no longer supported. I understand the security risks involved, but I need this version for a specific project that is critical to me.

If it functions well now, will I encounter any new issues after March 14, 2025? I have disabled all browser updates.

Thank you.

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.

In Firefox browser , truncation of string is not working, when typing into the input box at first time truncation is not working, but when focusing out and typing once again it start working , seems its rendering problem which is not working at first time.

I am using following code <style> input.b { white-space: nowrap; width: 50px; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; border: 1px solid #000000; </style>

text-overflow: clip (default):

<input class="b">



Above code will give the different result in firefox and the the chrome browser.

in chrome it will work at first time , means once user will start the typing into the input box , it will start showing the ellipses once text overflow will happen. but in Firefox it will not work like this, at first time when user will start the typing it will not show ellipses although text exceeds the boundary of input box , but when user focus out from the input box and start once again start typing into the input box ellipses will be shown. this behavior is creating confusion.

Kindly provide the solution for the same I am using 128.5.2 esr firfox version

Firefox kicks me out! My Mac works like a charme without any hardware problems. But now my favorite browser (FF) quits support. I'm amazed that a project like Mozilla does not care about sustainability. Any update in the software world must take care concerning downward compatibility - otherwise you exclude former users/customers. So why is ESR for Macos 10.9 to 10.11 not supported anymore? There are millions of Core2Duo-machines, that Mozilla sends to the trash. I'm extremely disappointed!

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?
