We currently support macOS versions 10.9 to 10.15. ![]() We’re looking at moving users on versions < 10.12 to the esr branch with the release of Firefox 78, to both be able to support them for about a year longer, and reduce the burden from old versions on engineering and QA for mainline Firefox.Ī meta bug has been created on Bugzilla that tracks the migration process. Mac OS X users of Firefox who still use these older versions of the Mac OS X operating system will be able to use Firefox ESR for another year before support runs out. It is unclear if and how other Firefox channel installations, e.g. Firefox Nightly or Beta, are affected by Mozilla’s decision to end support.įirefox ESR 78 won’t receive new feature updates but will receive bug fixes and security updates. Mozilla’s Hardware dashboard provides no details on the soon to be retired Mac OS X versions these are likely filed under macOS Other and had a share of 2.2% in February 2020. Note that the stat includes all Mac versions except for Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra. Google Chrome’s current system requirements on Mac require OS X Yosemite 10.10 or later. ![]() I could not find exact Mac OS usage figures but the decision will certainly impact some Firefox users. ![]() Mozilla has not shut out users from installing Firefox on unsupported systems in the past but these don’t receive support from the company and bugs specific to these systems won’t be fixed either.
