There are at least 3 ways of updating your Firefox to the latest version as well, even if you are running Debian Stable.įirefox 3.6’s end of life does not matter, as Iceweasel is pretty much catered to by a lot of Debian devs, as it is the primary used browser by most Debian users. Of course, it sucks for people using rather exotic add ons, but most of those will upgrade to the latest FF anyway. No, Debian Squeeze has Iceweasel 3.5, which is Firefox 3.5.x sans the name, logo and with loads of security patches from any of the newer Firefoxes that came out afterwards and that concern the code of 3.5.ĭebian additionally also has quite a few of the popular extensions in its repositories which also get security updates, so you needn’t worry about them working with your 3.5 browser. Debian and NetBSD make firefox available for all manner of niche hardware platforms, just this week i installed firefox on an ia64 box. The source is available, so if there is any demand then someone will make it available. There have been several security vulnerabilities in windows which can be attacked through third party browsers, and if any more are found in these old versions they will never be fixed.Īlso, just because firefox doesn’t officially support these old systems, doesn’t mean you can’t compile your own binaries for it. Why would a workstation have any inbound ports at all? Surely the most common use case of a workstation is that you only make outbound connections.Īlso, making outbound connections also carries risk, you may be running an up to date browser, but that browser also has to interact with the rest of the OS, and this too can introduce risks. Turning off services only reduces the risk. You may feel that by turning off unused services means you are safe, but then this is something you should have done in the first place and should also be doing with any modern os. Because this “legacy os” is abandoned by its creator, and will never receive any security updates ever again… It’s also closed source and proprietary so noone else can provide fixes for it instead.Īs such, using it on the Internet is wholly irresponsible.
