Hello, I'm currently using a Macbook Air, Early 2014, that still works perfectly fine for my needs. But it runs with OS X 10.9.5 and Firefox 78.15.0esr, that unfortunately can no longer be updated. That wouldn't be a problem to me since I do a very limited use of the computer, but now I'm getting the message "Your Firefox may start to have problems on January 14, 2025 since updates are not available for this OS". What should I do if I still want to use this device with Firefox to browse the internet? If it is impossible to keep using Firefox, any suggestions for an alternative browser that may still work? Safari is no longer an option. Thanks a lot for any and all replies

As far as I understand it, only your addons and DRM plugin will have problems. Browsing should still be possible.

Important update! On March 14, 2025, a critical root certificate in Firefox will expire. If you’re still using an older version (before Firefox 128 or before Firefox 115.13 ESR), it’s crucial to update to Firefox 128 or 115.13.0esr newer to avoid issues with add-ons, DRM-protected content, and other features. For full details, check out Update Firefox to prevent add-ons issues from root certificate expiration.
