So yes, there is a solution! I will explain everything to you in this tutorial, starting with the difference between the two versions, and how to install Firefox on your Raspberry Pi. The only solution to install the latest version is to get the package from the Ubuntu repository, once you ensure your Raspberry Pi is up-to-date. The only Firefox version available in Raspberry Pi OS is Firefox ESR, which is released on a different cycle than the one we use on standard computers. Indeed, installing Firefox on Raspberry Pi isn’t straightforward, especially if you want the latest version with all of the features. With Windows 7 and 8.1 ending official support by Microsoft in January 2023, software companies face a tough decision: should they support the operating systems for longer, or drop support at the official end of support date.Maybe you already tried installing Firefox on Raspberry Pi and ran into some issues. Google announced that it will end support for Google Chrome on Windows 7 and Windows 8 in February 2023. The company told Chrome users who run the browser on devices powered by these operating systems that they could continue running Chrome 109, the last version to be released for Windows 7 and 8.1, but that the browser would not receive any more updates. Google did not reveal how large the browser's user base is on these two Windows operating systems. About 15% of Firefox users use the browser on Windows 7 and 8.1 machines. The percentage dropped significantly in the past couple of years, but is still almost as much as the percentage of all other operating systems that Firefox runs on, with the exception of the dominating Windows 10 platform. Firefox on all Linux distributions, on Mac, and all other versions of Windows, including Windows 8.1, also have a user base of about 15%.
The second option that Mozilla considers extends support until the release of the next Firefox ESR version. Firefox users who run the browser on Windows 7 or 8.1 devices have a number of options: What appears to be clear is that Mozilla's support for Windows 7 and 8.1 will end in 2023.įirefox users on Windows 7 and 8.1 would be moved to Firefox 102 ESR, the current Extended Support Release branch, and would receive updates until Firefox 102 ESR is moved to Firefox 114 ESR this happens in August 2023. A sizeable number of devices will be upgraded to Windows 10 once support runs out. Switch to a web browser that continues to be supported and continue to run the unsupported version of Windows.Keep using the unsupported Firefox on the unsupported version of Windows.Microsoft's dominating operating system is supported until 2025.
