“As one of the few browsers that continues to support Windows XP and Vista, Firefox users on these platforms can expect security updates until that date.” “Today we are announcing June 2018 as the final end of life date for Firefox support on Windows XP and Vista,” reads the post on Mozilla”s blog. Now, Mozilla is giving the Firefox fan base one last extension, warning it will cut off all life support to Firefox for Windows XP and Vista come June 2018. Late last year, the Mountain View, California-based software company informed users that it will support Firefox for Windows XP and Vista until at least September 2017. Mozilla has been more permissive with its user base. Google hung up its gloves in 2016, deciding that the plethora of exploitable security flaws in old versions of Windows were not worth the development costs of separate versions of its own browser, Chrome. That, Mozilla has announced, is coming to an end. A considerable number of people still run Windows XP or Windows Vista, obliging Mozilla to support the ancient operating systems with security updates to its popular Firefox web browser.
