Technology No Mozilla Firefox updates for Windows 7 wtf?

7 is awesome. Writing from a computer that's 15+ years old running on 7. I'm shocked that they support anything other than Windows 10. That's the GOAT and nothing better than a 10 (inch?) when they're bending you over.
Seriously, though, Firefox? What's wrong with you. Make the switch to Google, and give them all of your information. Sharing is caring, don't be selfish now.
windows 7 was great but its end of life was 2020 and it accounts for about 3% share of windows users.

That is shocking to me for some reason.
Maybe not... it is a main-stream OS, anyway. For the flocks.

It's not spyware-y enough for them to want to maintain the bastards

I actually did. Have to use some older skills but have unpacked and repacked a few things in my day.
Haven't tried it yet cause my lappy is at my spot and I am stuck on this damn phone.
Work with what ya got, no?

I'm caught in this problem, and it aggravates me. People used Windows XP for eons because it was so stable. Now we are expected to completely upgrade our OS (at cost, or a new computer) every 5 years or so. Fuck Microsoft, honestly.
I will keep windows 8 for as long as possible and rely on other security methods to keep my computer safe. I will die on this hill.
Few things anger me more than being forced into planned obsolescence of products by buying new products. I don't want to learn a new OS, I like the one I have. Especially now that the newest OSs will have AI built in to record what you do and no doubt collect your private data for some corporate big wig. No thanks. It makes me want to switch to Linux, actually... but I haven't done it because I just don't have time to learn a whole new OS right now.

The ^ doesn't make it better to dislike me bc I know my job. After all I put a bread on table after my time spent on licensing in IT and sorting personal social cercle in this domain. Idk why when we could get along just fine if you were open-minded a bit more and I tried but you just in cognitive denial.
Latest version is then available to simply download with Mozilla Maintenance service after manually depacking
don't read too much in to it.
the '^' character is simply discussion-board shorthand for "i am replying directly to the post above" without having to actually quote the message.

When win 7 had it's EOL I completely switched to Linux (before that I had both OS).
The one win program I still used didn't work anymore on win 8.
