Microsoft stopped WinXP extended support on Apr 8, 2014, yet Mozilla supported the EOL WinXP (and Vista) til Fx 52.9.0esr released June 26, 2018. If anything Mozilla may stop supporting 32-bit Firefox for Windows before Firefox is not able to run on 7, 8 and 8.1. Win8.1 extended support ends Jan 10, 2023 Unless there is something OS dependent there is no reason for Firefox web browser to stop supporting Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 anytime soon. įirefox Releases works fine on Windows 7 now so why would it not after Jan 10, 2023 ? Technically extended support for Windows 7 ended as it is only the pay for Extended Security Updates that will go as late as Jan 10, 2023. Will Firefox still work on a Windows 7 computer that gets patches from 0Patch? Will Firefox continue to work, but not receive security updates after that date? 2023, when the extended support for Windows 7 ends. If there is a requirement for update(KB4474419) or other to run OpenVPN on Windows 7, it'll be nice to check this at install time.TaylorNorth2 said It has recently come to my attention that Mozilla may not continue to support Firefox browsers installed on Windows 7 computers after Jan. Additional information can be found at Microsoft support article: 2019 SHA-2 Code Signing Support requirement for Windows and WSUS. KB4474419 introduces SHA-2 code sign support.Looks like this behavior is related to changes in drivers and updates signing of Microsoft products. Versions after 9.21.2 has only sha256 signing, and prior versions are signed with sha1.Īfter installing KB4474419 driver error 52 has been resolved, and TAP driver works fine. As mentioned at this forum thread last working version of tap-driver for clean Windows 7 install is 9.21.2, which has double signing: sha1 and sha256. Looks like this error is caused by driver signing type(sha256) from openvpn installation package. (build 7601: Service Pack 1) get the Code 52 driver error of TAP-Windows Adapter V9 when installed from openvpn-install-2.4.8-I602-Win7. On clean install of Windows Professional ver.
