Hi Tor Developer Team, We are Zharko Gjurov and Liljana Ackovska - Macedonian (mk-MK) localization mangers for Tor and all Tor-related products. Also we are running an independent project named “Managing with Digital Security and Anonymity” (original name on Macedonian: “Управување со Дигиталната …

Hi @ZarkoGjurov , Sorry for the slow delay to reply! So I understand the need and desire behind this request, but I’m afraid I must deliver bad news. The short answer is no (sorry). The medium answer is Tor Browser is a big piece of software and we don’t have the desire nor the capacity to add and…

@morgan Than you for your detailed answer, but now there are new developments on AMA on reddit, where Mozilla officials have announced this: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1de7bu1/comment/l8gp012/?rdt=56859 in short: https://www.neowin.net/news/mozilla-wants-you-to-like-firefox-over-c…

[image] BobbyB: I read about 85% A correction. That number is really about 73% as of July 2024 according to a statcounter

According to Mozilla’s Calendar / Roadmap now it is official and new ESRs for version 115 are scheduled till March 4, 2025, and as it’s noted on their calendar: We decided to extend support for ESR 115 only on Windows 7-8.1 and macOS 10.12-10.14 up to March 2025. We will re-evaluate this decision…
