If you’re still using those old and bugged versions then you probably don’t care about unpatched software. Big security issues. Hope no one is using them.

    Honestly surprised to learn that they were still supporting 7-8.1 until now.

    Microsoft did as well - 8.1 still had ESU support, and as Server 2008 R2 had paid extended support and as it shared a kernel with Vista & 7 you could use those to keep your system updated as well. IIRC both ended January this year.

    NGL, I have Win 7 on a Mac that I play old as hell PC games with and FF has been a disaster on it for a long time - to the point where I get most of the downloads of games and the various drivers they need with the macOS install..
