In my original reply, I recommended Firefox or Pale Moon because those browsers still supported Vista but the day is rapidly approaching when no browser will support Vista (see Update on Firefox support for Windows XP and Vista – Future Releases and Basilisk and Windows Vista - Pale Moon forum). (At the time of revision, the current version is Chrome 66 and rising.) It would be irresponsible of me not to point out that nobody recommends using an outdated browser. Please see the support websites for the version of Linux that you're interested in.Chrome ended support for Vista in April 2016 (see Google Chrome Blog: Updates to Chrome platform support), meaning that no version more recent than Chrome 49 could be used on Vista. The vast majority of Linux distributions come with Firefox as the default browser. (Advanced): Switch to a Linux-based operating system.Windows versions that are not supported by Microsoft are unreliable and unsafe to use, which also makes it difficult to maintain Firefox on those versions. Upgrade to a Windows version that Microsoft still supports, such as Windows 8.1 or 10.If you want to keep your Firefox up to date, with all the latest features and updates, you'll need to upgrade your computer's operating system. How can I get the newest features of Firefox? Unsupported browsers receive no security updates, have known exploits, and can be dangerous to use.
At this point support for version 52 of the Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) has ended. Most browsers (such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer) have already ended support for Windows XP and Windows Vista.Ĭan I still browse safely with Firefox on Windows XP and Vista? Will switching to a different browser keep me protected? 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. Microsoft itself ended support for Windows XP in 2014 and support for Windows Vista in 2017. Why has Firefox ended support for Windows XP and Vista users?įirefox was one of the last browsers to offer any support for Windows XP and Vista. Either use a different device or see Get community support - Additional resources for other support options. Note: You won't be able to sign in to Mozilla Support using Firefox version 52.9.0esr or older.
