Security News Firefox 52 is the last update for Windows XP and Vista

[Ink]

"Firefox 52 is out today, and it's a landmark release for a couple of reasons.

The release is the final major version to support two legacy operating systems: Windows XP and Windows Vista.

• Future major versions of the browser will require at a minimum Windows 7.
• Firefox 52 is an Extended Support Release; it will receive security fixes (and only security fixes) for approximately one year.
• New features, however, will be restricted to the mainline version of Firefox.
• Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP at all, and Windows Vista drops out of extended support on April 11, 2017.
• Google dropped Windows XP and Windows Vista support in Chrome in April 2016.

As such, users of those operating systems will still have an actively patched browser for a little while longer, but their days are numbered."

I wonder who will still use XP except as a media box

The company i work for has one XP box left that only runs locally the crappy camera system within the warehouse.

Not accessible from the outside.

They lurk in the shadows, because if they say something, everyone will ask them to upgrade their OS.

@Spawn , remind me one guy, he loves XP so much that he still uses it on an i7 6+gb ram, adding dozen of security apps to cover every exposed aspect of XP
