Mozilla Firefox 53 Beta 10发布

Mozilla Firefox 53 Beta 10 今天已经释放到 Mozilla FTP，据之前 Mozilla 公布的消息显示，从这一版本开始，将默认启用多进程架构，如果浏览器安装了不支持多进程的扩展，那么浏览器将仍然使用单一进程；更重要的是，从 53 版开始，Firefox 停止对 Windows XP 与 Vista 的支持，这意味着如果想使用更高版本的 Firefox 就要升级到 Windows 7 及以上的版本，

除了 ESR 扩展支持版本分支之外的所有旧版本将不会再对 XP 与 Vista 提供支持，ESR 的支持周期降到 2018 年年中结束，旧版系统用户使用期间将只能获取到安全修补程序，不会再有任何功能上的改进。
