The Firefox 52 ESR support ends at 52.9.0esr Released on June 26. So would it really have been worth the resources, time and build machines needed to maintain support in current releases or perhaps some separate version branch for another year or two?Įven Windows users are not immune as WinXP/Vista support was dropped (despite far more users) as of Firefox 53.0 and later. Here are the specific breakdowns by OS version: This will affect approximately 1.2% of our current release population. Intent to deprecate: MacOS 10.6-10.8 support
#MOZILLA FIREFOX FOR MAC 10.6.8 MAC OSX#
Google/Chromium and Opera dropped support of the EOL OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and WinXP/Vista back in April 201 6 so they are not really an option.įirefox 45.9.0esr released Apwas the latest update to still support the EOL Mac OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8. There should be a dmg for this to fix the settings and back up the ps file rather than trying to go to the coded tech-head site and sift through the code details. It only makes it worse when I put tracking protection settings on because then in addition to still tracking history streams won't work (they end up choppy and stall).
#MOZILLA FIREFOX FOR MAC 10.6.8 FOR MAC OS#
This has been the case prior to Mozilla ending its support for MAC OS prior to 10.9 I have "never remember history" selected, and I'm CONSTANTLY having to go into the Privacy Settings and hit 'delete all history", over and over. Or move to Google's products? I can't get History to stop saving.
Shall I just use Safari (which is garbage). To dump us because we can't buy a new computer to run a newer OS that is a memory hog is quite frankly, a shame. Some of us remember the Netscape/Internet Explorer war and CHOOSE Mozilla Firefox with intent. It is unreasonable for Firefox support to have been dropped for MAC OS systems prior to 10.9 - it's a browser, it should always be backward compatible. I can't spend $3,000 with Apple to get a MacBook with 16GB to give up 250GB of hard drive space for the same size screen just to run the newer OS and update Firefox. I have a 2012 MacBook running 10.8.5 because it only has 8GB and can not run a newer version of the OS. I think telling someone who has clearly indicated he/she can not update their computer to update their computer is a but unreasonable.
