has bigger problems than not being able to use Discourse.

I’ll repeat [Firefox’s statement](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-users-windows-7-8-and-81-moving-extended-support) here as it is a sensible summary of the situation:

> Microsoft ended official support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 in January of 2023. Unsupported operating systems receive no security updates and have known exploits. With no official support from Microsoft, maintaining Firefox for obsolete operating systems becomes costly for Mozilla and dangerous for users.

This was **2+ _years_** ago.

There’s options. Get a new computer. Get a chromebook. Get a phone. Use Linux.

😆 I’m not sure what you’re trying to imply with this statement, but most people are not in the US. Most of our staff are not in the US.
