Mozilla Firefox confirms the end of support for Windows XP and Vista

The company has decided to issue a statement to announce this decision. In the same they have announced the date in which it will stop giving support, which is June 2018. Until then Windows XP and Windows Vista will be supported. But not later.

Windows XP and Vista without support

Firefox is one of the few browsers that still offers support for these two versions of the operating system. But, the company is aware that a very small percentage of users still use these versions. Reason why they decide to end the support once and for all. Updates have been offered for 15 years, but Firefox considers it time to stop.

Both Windows XP and Vista no longer have Support from Microsoft. The American company stopped supporting the first one in 2014 and Vista in April this year. So it is logical that a browser like Firefox also stop offering support.

Users with these versions that use the browser will be safe until June 26, 2018. The new version of Mozilla Firefox will arrive on May 1, 2018, and it will be on June 26 when a new security patch arrives. Users have until that day to be protected.
