Firefox 27 System Requirements
Quote:
Operating Systems
  • Windows XP SP2
  • Windows Server 2003 SP1
  • Windows Vista
  • Windows 7
  • Windows 8

Please note that while the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7 can be used to run Firefox 27, only 32-bit builds of Firefox 27 are supported at this time.

Recommended Hardware
  • Pentium 4 or newer processor that supports SSE2
  • 512MB of RAM
  • 200MB of hard drive space
Do you see why there is a difference?

So either Microsoft stinks at programming or they are artificially inflating the requirement levels.

I'm sure you think that you are making a point here but I don't see it.
My point is obvious. Microsoft abandoned IE on WinXP. You cannot possibly tell me that answering questions about how it isn't working is equivalent to supporting IE. All improvements are artificially withheld from XP, because IE+XP has been abandoned! Obsolete software is not called being supported.
