Will Firefox continue to be updated and supported on Windows Vista up until April 2017 (when Microsoft ends support for Vista) ?

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.

It was an interesting article you directed me to and it answers all my questions.

It's good to know that I will be able to use Firefox for the forseable future.

Thank you
