Mascot?

Is Firefox a mascot like the Mozilla dragon? ~2026-21127-28 (talk) 12:47, 5 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Firefox 115.37 ESR

Latest comment: 2 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Regarding the following excerpt:

The current version of Firefox is available for Windows 10 or later versions of Windows, as well as macOS, and Linux. Its unofficial ports are available for various Unix and Unix-like operating systems, including FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and other operating systems, such as ReactOS. It is the default, pre-installed browser on Debian, Ubuntu, and some other Linux distros. Firefox is also available for Android and iOS. However, as with all other iOS web browsers, the iOS version uses the WebKit layout engine instead of Gecko due to platform requirements. An optimized version was also available on the Amazon Fire TV as one of the two main browsers available with Amazon's Silk Browser until April 30, 2021, when Firefox would be discontinued on that platform.

Would you think that it would be worth mentioning that Firefox 115 ESR, which is still supported by Mozilla, still supports Windows versions older that Windows 10? ~2026-36812-27 (talk) 07:37, 26 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

I would wait until August and see whether Mozilla extends 115 ESR support or not. sapphaline (talk) 10:33, 26 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
