firefox 144 as last version for x86 (32 bits)?

<< < (2/3) > >>

neonix:
There is 32-bit version of Chromium based web browser for Windows XP. I hope someone will create 32-bit version of Gecko based web browser. Maybe K-Meleon with Wine will works.

Maybe some of you did not understand the main concern. It does not matter if it runs on linux or windows (Xp, w10-12 etc). It matters that the current version that you run to be up to date regarding the securities holes to be patched. and to be capable to decode the latest internet movies.

Or else, (if you just want to browse the internet for reading text files or downloading some archives), you do not need the latest Firefox. Just use wget or curl to download something. Or dillo, netsurtf, elinks or even an very old firefox/chrome/palemon whatever to read web pages.

Anyway the old hardware will NOT be able to decode latest codes on you-tube in real time. My humble recommendation, do not even think about banking of financing online with the old Firefox. YMMV.

neonix:
Most probably, old hardware will decode 144p video, even with new codecs.

Probably someone compile Firefox from source code in 32-bit Linux, if libraries will be compatible.

Firefox has about 4% market share, and if Mozilla won't find out new source of money, the project will decline.

Online banking is not problem on old browser, if you have good one-time password mechanism, and you don't alocatte your fortune in one bank, and online banking is designed to protect any movement of money with one-time password.

Wow, so your hope is that someone (unknown person) will share somewhere (on a not trusted site) few times in a year, for many years, a binary for a browser, then I wish you all the best for your fortune/wealth.

I’m thinking if someone visits shady websites and they get hacked or installs an hacked version, an hacker can change what’s being displayed on the web browser to make one think that they’re doing the operation they’re thinking they’re doing, but instead transferring the money anywhere. Even OTP won’t solve this if all the communication is proxied by the hacker. Be cautious.
