Mozilla firefox will support windows xp until September 2017

Most of the Internet browsers have already neglected Windows Vista and especially Windows XP, but there is one that still takes pity on them, is Mozilla Firefox.

Mozilla Firefox will not leave Windows XP at the moment…

The Mozilla company, responsible for Firefox, confirmed that the browser will have support for Windows XP and Windows Vista until September 2017. The two old and beloved Microsoft operating systems will enter what is called the Extended Support Release stage, a support that will begin in March and will end in September.

During the support stage, the browser on these operating systems will continue to receive support in the form of updates, especially those that are security. Once the support ends, using Firefox in Windows XP or Windows Vista would not be very advisable, since hackers or hackers could use the vulnerabilities of those systems to capture sensitive information very easily, since there are no new updates to patch these. security holes.

For its part, the Windows XP system already stopped receiving official support from Microsoft two years ago, therefore, it is no longer a 'safe' operating system, especially when it comes to browsing with other applications such as Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.

In the case of Vista, it has official support until April 2017. Recall that Firefox also recently added support for multi-process technology.
