If Mozilla stops supporting Firefox on XP, are XP users essentially screwed?

Is that a yes or a no? If yes, what are the choices and which do you think are best? Scott.

My answer would be a "yes," Scott. If Mozilla were to end support for Firefox on XP now, Lunascape would apparently be the best alternative. (You would have to have SP1 or later, though.) Opera would also work on XP, but it might be unstable on some older PCs.

Thanks, it is good to know there are alternatives. I see many older systems that will continue to use XP indefinitely. Scott.
