From Waterfox to LibreWolf and Pale Moon, there's a browser for almost every Mozilla dissenter.
Key facts
- When they wrote about running Windows XP in 2023, they mentioned the MyPal68 browser, a fork of relatively recent Firefox that still works on 32-bit Windows all the way back to Windows XP, as well
- That release, Firefox 57, broke 90 percent of their meticulously assembled collection of more than 30 extensions — It has its own release cycle and, at the time of writing, is up to version 12.17.2, which incorporates the changes in Firefox 155
- Momiji is an actively maintained version of Firefox 140 ESR that runs on OS X 10.7 "Lion" and later
Summary
Mozilla and MZLA have delivered the latest releases in their new fortnightly cycle, but users who dislike the faster pace have alternatives. Firefox 156 is trickling out to users. Users who have chosen French, German or Italian will now find suggestions from Wikipedia in their own languages, along with potentially less welcome ads from Mozilla partners. As with the previous release of both apps, the changes in Thunderbird sound slightly more useful, but again, they are small.
