how about windows xp. still don't work. you going fix it for us please?
I'm very curious - why are you still on XP?
This is an example when the interests of users and the manufacturer are opposite. If the user uses an OS for many years and everything works, why upgrade? Looks like a waste of time and money.
Imagine if you bought a car and several years later you are told that you need to upgrade it, because, you know, car factory workers need higher salaries and if you don't buy the new one, then there is no way to pay them.
This explains why MS and independent developers (that drop XP support to help MS) forces users to upgrade. Because it is MS who wants an upgrade, not the user.
So nothing for those of us still running 56 beause Quantum trashed our extensions (and there are still not equivalent availale)?
Why on earth are you running such a massively outdated browser? You should at least switch to pale moon, basilisk, or another maintained browser. God knows how many vulnerabilities in the wild there are in 56.

Mozilla did not have to disable the option that would let me work around this problem by myself (which is going to cause me no en…
"Opt-out telemetry" creates precisely the scenario I describe, where the users who care most are least visible to Mozilla, at which point their needs would go unconsidered; no one knows they exist, how many of them there are, or why they're opting out. This remains true regardless of why , which negates your entire list of issues, replacing them with a simple question that is very difficult to answer: How could Mozil…

Why would anyone want to upgrade from XP? New versions of Windows have no improvements (the only improvement is search in Start Menu), but they cost money, they work slower and require new expensive hardware. They have spyware and updates that cannot be disabled. You pay for the product and then you are used as a free tester of new versions of Windows. Microsoft wants everyone to upgrade to earn more money and to ups…

Is that a serious question?
Security?
Compatibility with Modern hardware?
If you want to use a car analogy, what you're asking is 'why would anyone want to upgrade from a Model T?
