    Mozilla Sets End of Firefox Windows XP Support


    Posted: 28 Mar 2012
    Mozilla on Friday announced that next month's Firefox 12 will be the last version to run on early editions of Windows XP and the 12-year-old Windows 2000.

    The company also reiterated that it will stop serving security updates for 2010's Firefox 3.6 in April.

    Starting with Firefox 13, the browser's minimum requirements will be XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Firefox 13 will not work on Windows 2000, Windows XP RTM (release to manufacturing, the original mid-2001 build) or XP SP1.

    Sounds reasonable, don't see why it should be required to support any +10 yr old OSs.

    I would be happier if they could get the last 3 updates to work with my ISP's webmail.

    No, your ISP has to make their webmail work with it. It does go the other way. Your ISP's webmail is broken and they need to fix it. Not Mozilla.
