Messages my Firefox browser version 127.0 will be broke on March 14, 2025 ???

Making moves

Hello software developers,

Getting strange messages that my Firefox browser version 127.0 will fall dead and be broke on March 14, 2025  ==> Is this really true ???  <==  Been doing software development a long time and never heard of just 'breaking' a legacy product version for installed customers. A big No-No.

Question:

Will you really break a browser version I really like and have used for almost 20 years ?  <or> Will you give your developers a crash course on how to renew, store, chain, and manage X.509 certificates to prevent this breakage ???

<otherwise>

Please recommend a good replacement browser such as Brave,  LibreWolf,  Floorp, etc, which replicates the good, fast performing, basic, and non-intrusive functions that Firefox used to do in the past.

Do not want to interrupt your busy coding schedule, but Certificate management code and tools are everywhere for you to do a quick fix for this breakage, generally called a bug. An extra 30 LOC to fix this won't hurt performance that much.

Thanks for you quick response,

Sam

Yes, it's true if you don't update or switch to ESR and there's nothing you can do to prevent it other than that.

Many people like Librewolf and Floorp.
