My desk computer uses Windows 7. I only trust Firefox. Are you deserting me even if I continue to send annual contributions to Mozilla for this? Sharon Kroeger, Amenia, NY 12501.
I have learned to depend on Firefox and Thunderbird, and do not trust any of the commercial options. My solid old desk computer is a Dell that uses Windows 7. Are you now telling me that I am being deserted because I don't have more modern equipment? Even though I am willing to continue to make my annual contributions......sending checks to Mozilla for both Firefox and for Thunderbird? If so, I am in a panic, for I do not trust Google and the social media. Only clean and simple email communications.
Isn't there away to continue using Firefox (perhaps the same tried and true Firefox, and just forgo the continuous modernization and newer versions? Sharon Kroeger, [removed a Lot of personal information like addresses and phone#'s from public support forum] Regards, SDK

Other major web browsers like Chromium, Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave have already dropped support of the EOL Windows 7, 8, 8.1 back in January/February this year.
Mozilla will still be supporting the EOL Windows 7, 8, 8.1 for a while still as Firefox 115 ESR will get its last major update Fx 115.15.0esr in September 2024.
Besides using Windows 10 or later, the only other way to have a more current supported OS is say perhaps dual booting with a light Linux distro (avoid heavier desktops like KDE and GNOME) as then you will be able to use current Firefox releases.
Also this is a public community support forum and not some form of private ticket or chat system so you should not be posting your private information like address and phone numbers, which I edited from your original post.
