I only very recently started to install Firefox due to certain extensions I needed to use which used to be written and updated for both SM and FF but some extension authors had abandoned SM. I did notice that Win-XP support was dropped since Firefox 60.X, which is too bad, so whether SM will move to a post 5X.X version as their code base is a concern going forward, even though SSE2 is not a concern of mine. Currently, SM's latest release which is 2.49.4, is based off of Firefox ESR 52.9.1 for the browser portion, which is essentially the same version of Firefox ESR I'm also using, and likely the latest Thunderbird code for the mail client version. So nowadays my default suite is Seamonkey which I prefer to have integrated mail client and other components. Personally I've never been keen on using Firefox as my default browser since I've always used the Mozilla suite from way back, before which I was using the Netscape Communicator suite). Yes, this is a concern right now for some legacy systems that are otherwise running fine on Win-XP Pro SP3. i consider it would concern any single core cpu.
(ms has stopped delivering updates to windows 7 SSE cpu computers since juli or august).
#Firefox esr 45 update
and windows 7 cant update any longer without SSE2, there is EOL of such systems right now. That's great to know that FF-ESR 45.90 is more secure than the regular FF 49.0X.īrummelchen wrote:there exist NO current firefox build for XP, neither with´or with or without SSE2. In the meantime, I've also acquired the latest ESR 60.X version for other systems, though normally I am a Seamonkey user and am only using Firefox as a back up browser. So in this case, it was necessary to select the latest available non-SSE2 required ESR version, which was indeed ESR 45.9, which is what I've got installed now. Only ESRs will comply with that configuration switch value. Yes, the SSE2 compatibility issue was the constraint at hand hence the pre-version-49.0 requirement, but since then I've also discovered that ESRs also allows unverified plug ins / extensions to be installed without being blocked, despite the fact that in the regular Firefox consumer releases, it ignores the ABOUT:CONFIG parameters that disables the plug in signatures requirements. The ESR versions were based on 10.0, 17.0, 24.0, 31.0, 38.0, 45.0, 52.0 and now 60.0 The only reason why you could not use Firefox 49.0 or later versions on Windows is because the CPU you have does not support SSE2. Mozilla also has postponed add-ons signature requirement till Firefox 46.James wrote:There was no ESR based on 48.0. According to the new release cycle, Firefox 46 is expected to be released on April 19 and Firefox 47 on June 7.
