Why Firefox "latest offline updates" (from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/) are older than "installer version" (thru: help ->About firefox) ?

When I update my firefox for winXP sp3 online pc thru [help -> About firefox] (installer) it gives me the latest update (for example 47.0.1 version), BUT, when I download from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ (offline installer, for another XP sp3 offline pc) it gives me 43.0.1 version(!)

Why is so easy to make the things difficult?

hi, unfortunately this 2-step procedure is necessary because recent security requirements introduced by microsoft mean that the current firefox installers might not work for a part of xp users (who are left out of any more updates for their operating system): How can I get the latest version of Firefox on Windows XP or Vista?

Thanks for the effective quickest response Philipp I downloaded from here: https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/47.0.1/win32/en-US/ this file: Firefox Setup 47.0.1.exe I will try it.

As said in the other thread WinXP SP2 users cannot run 43.0.2 and newer setups due to Microsoft requirement of signing.

The default browser useragents on WinXP does not show if the user has SP2 or SP3 installed. Otherwise Mozilla may be serving the current Release to SP3 users and 43.0.1 to those still using SP2.

At least Mozilla not drop WinXP support yet.
