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.

It's not fall 2017 yet (when Firefox support ends).

Sept 2017 is when the LAST of the support for Firefox ends.
Security updates are just one part of support and all other
support has ended. Are you guys totally retarded? This thread
is in the context of someone investing in hardware upgrades with
the intention of running XP into the future. I pointed out that
IDK of any browsers that are supported on XP. If you go to Mozilla,
they clearly state:

Important - Firefox is ending support for Windows XP and Vista
Firefox version 52 will be the last complete update for Windows XP and Windows Vista. Security updates will be released, but no new features.
Why is Firefox support ending for Windows XP and Vista users?
Firefox is one of the only browsers to offer any support for Windows XP and Vista. Microsoft itself ended support for Windows XP in 2014 and will end support for Windows Vista in 2017. Unsupported operating systems receive no security updates, have known exploits, and can be dangerous to use, which makes it difficult to maintain Firefox on those versions.
Firefox security updates for XP and Vista users will continue until September 2017, although new features will not be offered. In mid-2017, a final support end date will be announced based on the number of users still on Windows XP and Vista."

What I said is correct. And what you're arguing, in the context of this
thread, is beyond stupid. You have someone upgrading hardware on an XP system,
intending to run XP XP for the future, and you claim because Firefox will
still have security updates for 5 months, it makes sense to count of FF
for browser?
