Firefox and Win 7

Hope you can help, I'm starting to get a bit confused.

I gather that FF115 is the last FF to run on Win 7.

First, what's the difference between the ESR portable edition and the portable legacy edition (latest 115.0.1), also, looking at the portable FF nightly, I notice that on your details FF 117 and 118 portable it says that these will run on Win 7?

Thanks

Extended Release (ESR) = Security Updates and Bug Fixes

Firefox ESR is an extended channel of a specific version of Firefox which only gets security updates and bug fixes. It doesn't get new features or functionality. So, Firefox 116.0 has both security updates and bug fixes from 115.0.3 and new features and functionality. Firefox ESR 115.1.0 only gets security updates and bug fixes from 115.0.3.

Beta, Developer and Nightly require Windows 10/11 as of each of their 116.x releases. I've updated the pages on the site here to reflect that.

Firefox 115 is the last version of Firefox for Windows 7/8/8.1 and will be ed through Sept 2024. I've built a special Legacy 115 build of Firefox Portable that is currently mirroring to servers that will be available for Windows 7/8/8.1 s. As s upgrade Firefox Portable Stable to 116.0, if they are running on one of these legacy platforms, a FirefoxPortableLegacy115 copy will be automatically created alongside their FirefoxPortable copy so they can continue using it. This release will be happening shortly.

UPDATE: Legacy 115 has been released: https://portableapps.sitesunblocked.org/news/2023-08-02--firefox-portable-legacy-115.1....

UPDATE: handle updates and launches for legacy Windows s as described in this comment.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
