I'm on Win7 and FF 51 64-bit. Is that OK?

Does anyone know?

FF51 is the current release, so I can't imagine that wouldn't be supported here; it's supported by Mozilla.
Technically Windows 7 is out of Support but is still supported by security patches until 2020 - http://uk.pcmag.com/operating-systems-and-platforms/38918/news/mainstream-windows-7-support-ends-today-but-dont-panic

Oh, Firefox 52 (due out in March) will be the next Extended Support Release if such things are important to you, likely as a home user you'll just continue to upgrade until FF end support for Windows 7 (not anytime soon) https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/

Thanks Aaron.

From what perspective, Shack?

I regularly use AVG to scan and also Melwarebytes. Does this help?

I assume he meant the "will it still work with OOF" perspective (and I can't see you knowingly breaking support for the most recent version of Firefox, somehow).. although I reckon the answer is the same for both.


Which reminds me. Non redundant network gear? What kind of half baked data centre are you running out of your house

If he runs too much gear Mrs. TheBoy stops complaining about the cold.

  I was hoping all my gear would keep the (integral) garage warm, but it doesn't seem to.  Might actually have to move it all to the loft so that it doesn't ingest fibreglass dust when I'm sanding the body of the plastic fantastic kit car.. (yes, I'm actually making progress, shocking I know! )

Hmm. Lofts can get awfully hot in summer. Cupboard under the stairs.

Looking forward to a ride in the snake this summer then.

Steady on, I'm aiming for when I'm 40, not 39..

There has been a big push towards energy efficiency in servers over the last 7 or 8yrs (all OOF's existing physical servers are less than that...  ...and the 4th shiney addition was only dispatched today).

So, no, it doesn't stop her grumbling about the cold

Though as one of the cats is poorly - we think he might have lost a face-up to a squirrel or a fox - I've turn the temp up to keep him warm.  Because I'm a big softie.

Cowboys R Us.

The front end router that ultimately connects to the internet (and which has a bug I need to report in that it can't route, and another around L2TP possibly related to first) is a single point of failure I'm afraid. And not the only one, as we found out when the storage server went a bit mental a few weeks ago when I tried to maintenance on of the disks

Whilst Win7 is still officially supported by MS (2020), we will do our utmost to support it.

Up to date FF/IE/Chrome (for those with some pages stuck together) should also be OK when running on a currently supported OS.

Its (currently) XP that's going to be problematic, as the core OS doesn't support something we need to implement.

That's no excuse zirk and you know it. I demand a referendum!

Jesus don't let that get out, will you

We could sell you something for that, you know... and I know for a fact that a pair of fully loaded 4800s would keep most of your house toasty warm!
