For completeness, you should add "... except for those people still running machines with Pentium 3 or AMD Athlon XP CPUs - these CPUs lack support for SSE2 instructions, and Mozilla has decided to stop building Firefox for the Windows operating system on such machines, so 45.9.0ESR is the last build that will ever be released for such hardware running Windows. Note that Firefox still works perfectly well when the hardware does not provide SSE2 instructions, but you'll have to either build Firefox yourself using a suitable compiler (and set the build options suitably) or switch to a Linux distribution that builds Firefox without the need for SSE2 (most still do so)." https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/your-hardware-no-longer-supported http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=2953859 This seems to be primarily a Windows thing - apparently, Windows 7 is the last Windows version to run on CPUs lacking SSE2 support. PS: Yes, I know I'm the only person left on the planet with an "Athlon XP inside" machine in a cupboard :) .... A 2GHz single-core 32bit CPU with 2GB of RAM still works well for quite a few applications ...
