Why wouldn't it happen under GNU/Linux ? Here's a direct quote from the time it was announced for Firefox in 2016: "The motivation for this change is that we have continued failures that are specific to these old operating systems and don't have the resources on engineering teams to prioritize these bugs. Especially with the deployment of e10s we're seeing intermittent and permanently failures on MacOS 10.6 that we are not seeing elsewhere. We get very little testing of old MacOS versions from our prerelease testers and cannot dedicate much paid staff testing support to these platforms. We also have an increasingly fragile set of old hardware that supports automated tests on 10.6 and do not intend to replace this. This will affect approximately 1.2% of our current release population." I don't know what the percentage is for SeaMonkey. -- <http://ilias.ca/links> Newsgroup moderator ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I would lose all my work on this computer, the Rosetta virtual machine, only 64bits versions etc. I'm not living on this planet !
