Firefox users on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will be switched to the ESR channel via an "application update" when Firefox 115 is released in July 2023. Then Firefox ESR 115 will be provided with security updates on these operating systems until September 2024. After that there will be no more security updates available. Future versions of Firefox and Firefox ESR will not run on these operating systems.

How on Earth did Mozilla mess up this important ESR migration for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users?
