You must not know much about the subject, then. Firefox will
still support XP until 2017. And firefox isn't exactly a
'niche' browser.


You must not know much about calendars, it's already 2017.

Nice try.

Nice try at what? It is in fact already 2017.

Last time I checked, it was still April.

Do you know what ESR means?

But, you specifically wrote that you didn't know of any
browser company still doing updates for XP, and, obviously,
that's not true. September is still a few months away, too.

What I wrote is true. Firefox has announced end of support and
they are only doing *security updates* for 5 more months. That
means they aren't going to do bug fixes, compatibility fixes. In
my world, that means it's no longer being supported. From
Mozilla:

security updates, ARE infact, updates. Regardless. So, what you
wrote isn't true. Your personal opinion aside.

That's directly from Mozilla, so, WTF is your point? That a
browser that is not being supported with updates other than for
security fixes and that only for 5 months, is a browser that one
should plan on using for the future?

I thought my point was self explanatory.

https://blog.mozilla.org/futurerelea...-xp-and-vista/

n approximately March, 2017, Windows XP and Vista users will
automatically be moved to the Firefox Extended Support Release
(ESR).

Firefox is one of the few browsers that continues to support Windows
XP and Vista, and we expect to continue to provide security updates
for users until September 2017. Users do not need to take additional
action to receive those updates. In mid-2017, user numbers on
Windows XP and Vista will be reassessed and a final support end date
will be announced.

Mozilla hasn't set September 2017 for EOL XP/Vista users in stone,
yet. things are still subject to change, based on the amount of
XP/vista users still using those oses with firefox ESR releases.
