Chutten is not as categoric as you are: It is also possible that we’ve seen some ex-Chrome users fleeing Google’s drop of support from earlier this year. Deseasonalized numbers for just WinXP users are hard to come by, so this is fairly speculative. One thing that’s for certain is that the diminishing Windows XP userbase trend I had previously observed (and was counting on seeing continue) is no longer in evidence. https://chuttenblog.wordpress.com/2016/10/28/firefox-windows-xp-exit-plan/ Mike _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
