Firefox planning to drop 32-bit support. This is huge, considering that Firefox supported non SSE3 systems for a very long time and that many cheap netbooks from around 2008-2012 were 32-bit only. Compare this with the fact that Mozilla recently extended Windows 7 to 2026, and we find that Mozilla finds it difficult to actually drop support due to the "long tail" effect of many legacy users. It still has a minority of Firefox 78 users on old macs for example.https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2025/09/05/firefox-32-bit-linux-support-to-end-in-2026/It looks like 32-bit computers may be locked out of much of the internet by late 2026, as outdated browsers usually fail captchas.
>>106499895Didn't realized 32bit is still a thing on desktopsIt's a nothingburger, anon
>>106499895not huge but 115esr is working nice
>>106499895>It looks like 32-bit computers may be locked outwhy are you talking about windows and Macs when the link clearly talks about linux?
>>106499895There's alternatives out there based on older versions of this garbage slop that can still run uBlock Origin, which's what it really comes down to. 32-bit XP Posready 2009 as my daily driver, still going strong.
>>106499895https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1035727/4837b0d3dccf1cbb/TLDR there are basically no cpus that use 32 bit and can run firefox
That's okay, we already have 64-bit.

>>106499895We are 3 months til 2026.Who the fuck is using 32bits for web browsing?As a server? Sure. But a full desktop with a browser?
>>106499998Because Windows and Mac hasn't been supporting 32 bits in forever so his nostalgia brain hasn't moved on.
>>106500697Firefox is still supporting 32-bit Windows
>>106500748The last Windows with 32 bits was Windows 10 2004. That's almost 4 years now.
