This includes several file and registry security features that it might pretend to implement, but actually ignore.
It adds a compatibility layer that emulates functions that the application expects to find. It seems to have a good reputation but its recommended you assume the worst and back up your entire system and create a bootable rescue disk beforehand if you try it. It designed to let applications that require Windows 2000 or Windows XP run on Windows 98/ME systems. If you have a unsupported version of Windows one workaround would be to install a kernel patch called kernelex. Mozilla would like to create a version of Firefox for Windows RT but Microsoft doesn't allow other software to use the APIs needed to support a modern web browser. Mozilla is working on a Metro version of Firefox (its currently in beta). Thunderbird will run on the Surface Pro since it has the full Windows 8. Since there is no Thunderbird "app" (Metro version of Thunderbird), Thunderbird won't run on a Surface RT tablet, since Windows RT only runs Windows Store apps. There are no plans to do a Metro version of Thunderbird. įirefox and Thunderbird do not officially support Windows 8 yet, but all reports are that it works fine. Windows 2000 and XP SP1 are no longer supported starting with Firefox 13 and Thunderbird 13 due to Mozilla moving to the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 compiler. The major risks for e-mails are enabling inline attachments or blindly opening any attachment. Using an obsolete version of Thunderbird is less (but still is) of a risk, there are less feasible exploits than for a browser. However, it is very risky to use an obsolete browser because you can't get any security bugs for known vulnerabilities fixed, and exploits are out there. One workaround would be to use Firefox 2.0.0.20 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.24.
