Mozilla considers two main options right now:Įnding support in January 2023 would alienate about 15% of the browser's user base. A decision has not been made yet in regards to a potential support extension for these operating systems. Mozilla started to discuss the end of support for Windows 7 and 8.1 almost three years ago, but the thread on Bugzilla got traction only recently.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 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.

About 15% of Firefox users use the browser on Windows 7 and 8.1 machines. Mozilla faces an equally tough decision.Google did not reveal how large the browser's user base is on these two Windows operating systems
