But the Mozilla Devs haven't dropped support for Windows XP (yet!). My only reason for switching is that Chrome keeps popping up a message that support for XP has ceased, and I can't turn it off.

Good afternoon, Don :-) Please read:

for instructions.

Latest version, 49.0.2623.112, pushed on Apr 7th, still runs fine. But major version 49 of the stable (release) channel should be the last XP/Vista compatible. Vista (ny current OS) will remain under MS Extended Support until Apr 2017, yet the Chrome devs have also included it in their not-supported-anymore OSes (along with XP). Never have been a Chrome convert, used it occasionally for tests. There exists very interesting discussion in the following thread:
http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/175404-chrome-49-update/

Keep an eye for any development there by the devoted XP/Vista communities (very uncertain ATM, but they may come up with a custom build of Chrome 49+ that could run on XP/Vista).

Thanks again, Vangelis, for your ever comprehensive reply. You could have simply said RTFM!

I try my best to be civil in my list posts,
(snip) but in general I try not to offend the other person...

Whenever spare time allows, instead of offering "pre-cooked" meal to a person seeking support, I prefer to direct him/her to the list of "ingredients" and a "recipe" !

Best regards, Vangelis.
