Will Firefox continue to be updated and supported on Windows Vista up until April 2017 (when Microsoft ends support for Vista) ?

Thank you.

hi GeorgeDerek, the short version is: there will be security updates for xp/vista systems until 2018 but beyond that the support may be dropped. more details about the plan are explained in this recent blog post: https://chuttenblog.wordpress.com/2016/10/28/firefox-windows-xp-exit-plan/

Thank you for your reply.

It was an interesting article you directed me to and it answers all my questions.

It's good to know that I will be able to use Firefox for the forseable future.

Thank you
