Otherwise Mozilla would likely fine tune what versions to serve to WinXP users on and as in 43.0.1 for WinXP SP2 users and current Release for WInXP SP3 users.įirefox 43.0.1 should get updates and install current Firefox version including 47.0 just fine even on WinXP) SP2. Just like with the Windows 8 mention it means Windows 8 and 8.1.Īs been said also, it is not possible to tell by the default browser useragents on WinXP if the user has SP2 or SP3 installed. The Firefox WinXP SP2 is the '''minimum to Run Firefox''' as it is Not about the minimum needed to install the Setups. You misunderstood what that System Requirements mean as it is about the minimum required of each Windows needed in order to use Firefox. Thank you, James, but, if you check Firefox's System Requirements page for v47.0, you'll see that SP2 is required, not SP3.

XP and Vista users with unpatched OSs will eventually be forced to update to the latest service pack now that Microsoft has started deprecating older SHA-1 signed certificates as of 0 as described in the MS TechNet advisory. If Mozilla doesn't have a browser user-agent that can distinguish the build /service pack of the user's OS then I personally think it would be preferable to simply '''display a pop-up for XP and Vista''' users warning them that they require the latest service pack for their OS to run the SHA-256 signed Firefox installer.

Running the internal updater with my browser open (Help | About Firefox | Check for updates) occasionally corrupts my Firefox profile so it's much safer for me download the latest offline installer and perform an over-the-top update with my browser closed.

I wanted the full v43.0.4 installer to perform an '''over-the-top update from v43.0.3 to v43.0.4''' so downloading an old v43.0.1 installer from is of no use to me.
