Hi Mozilla Team / Community,

We understand that Firefox 115 ESR will receive security updates until at least version 115.27.0esr in August 2025.

We currently have a number of devices still running Windows 7 for legacy application reasons and rely on Firefox 115 ESR as it's the last version to support that OS.

We need to plan ahead, so could you please confirm:

Will Mozilla continue to support Windows 7 with Firefox 115 ESR updates until August 2025?

Or is support for Windows 7 ending sooner, even if 115 ESR itself continues?

How can I download an older version of Firefox ? Version 140.0.4 is full of issues , i.e. slow loading pages that were faster in the old version , shrunk images on some sites , log in problems on others.

I'm a retiree in my mid 70's...I've heard that Firefox will stop extending ESR's past March of this year. I'm not in a position to buy and update all my software and laptop & desktop the latter can't go any higher on Mac OS. So I'm asking that you please consider continuing support for older browsers. My browser is Mac Safari 14.1.2, I would be OK making a good sized donation to Mozilla or paying a monthly subscription if necessary to be kept updated on Firefox ESR's. I've seen other inquiries on your site from others asking about the same thing. So please consider my request and let me know if there's anything I can do to get your continued ESR support for my computers. It would mean a great deal to me and I know quite a few others as well...So please pass my thoughts up to management and I will hope for the best...

My Thanks,

Tom D.

为什么 Firefox 115esr 会把 User Agent 中的 Windows 版本号强制设为 Windows 10？

我是在 Windows 7 下使用 Firefox 115.xx.x esr ，不知从哪个版本起发觉 User Agent 中的 Windows 版本号强制设为 Windows 10 ，请问这是为什么？ --- I am using Firefox 115.xx.x ESR on Windows 7, but I noticed that starting from which version the Windows version number in the User Agent is forcibly set to Windows 10. Can you tell me why?

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?
