Google dropped Windows XP and Windows Vista support in Chrome in April 2016.Īs such, users of those operating systems will still have an actively patched browser for a little while longer, but their days are numbered.įirefox 52 also gets rid of another bit of legacy: plugins using the old NPAPI plugin model, first introduced by Netscape back in the 1990s, are no longer supported, with just one exception: Flash. Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP at all, and Windows Vista drops out of extended support on April 11, 2017.
New features, however, will be restricted to the mainline version of Firefox.
Firefox 52 is an Extended Support Release it will receive security fixes (and only security fixes) for approximately one year. Future major versions of the browser will require at a minimum Windows 7. The release is the final major version to support two legacy operating systems: Windows XP and Windows Vista. Firefox 52 is out today, and it's a landmark release for a couple of reasons.
