1059884 - Add alert for XP SP2 in health report

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox Health Report Graveyard :: Web: Health Report, defect, P5)

Description

[Yuhong Bao]

Add alert for XP SP2 in Firefox health report. This will eventually be upgraded to an infobar.

Comment 1

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

based on bug 1059840 i see no reason to add an alert to the health report.

FYI, bsmedberg mentioned this idea on IRC.

Comment 3

[Benjamin Smedberg]

We were talking about this on IRC. We're not going to drop support, but it's reasonable to warn people that they are using a seriously insecure OS.

If we're going to do something like this, we might as well identify all OSes we consider "insecure" and do it for all of them.

I don't think that needs to block doing this for XP SP2.

Yea, the point of this that it will eventually escalate to an infobar likely next year. Then if the market share is low enough, XP SP2 support will be dropped and a warning will be provided on the download page that will last for a few months before the SHA1 mozilla.org certificate expires.

I'm marking this bug as INVALID,
because about:healthreport (Firefox Health Report) was removed in bug #1352497.
