Firefox support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 ( blog.mozilla.org )

I understand why Firefox is doing this, they’re not the only one. But I also understand why people would like to stay on older operating systems, particularly Windows 7.

Just a difficult situation all around

With this, Mozilla will have given more than 1.5 years of extra support compared to Chromium browsers. Supporting old operating systems has a development cost, and they put themselves at a disadvantage if they choose to support these old OSes for much longer.

People should really just update. Old, unsupported operating systems are unsafe to use.
