1. Google Chrome will soon in April close its doors on Windows XP OS and Vista and will not support us with its updates anymore. How long will Firefox Mozilla still support us XP and Vista users as I cannot afford to replace my software or hardware???

2. As I'm not a technophobe, will a migration from Chrome to Mozilla be problematic and what precautions will I have to take as I load and make Mozilla my home search engine.

3. How or must or can I safely transfer my data and bookmarks from Chrome to Mozilla??? Please Note!! My mailboxes has been compromised by a Stupid Hacker through Chrome, I think!!

Thank you Folks Ossie.Rohl

Mozilla Firefox or Firefox for short is a web browser and not a search engine site.

Hello Ossie.Rohl

  1. please see : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1108395
  2. win xp, is unsupported from microsoft, so better is to upgrade, when you are able to do that, to a new supported system. Firefox(not Mozilla, Mozilla is Corporation) is a web browser with a lot of search engines, you can choose what you want.
  3. It is safe, but if you are definitely sure that your mailboxes has been compromised, then it is better to change your mail. :-)

thank you
