    The latest Firefox (version 52.0 update states, among other things, that :

    Removed support for Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI) plugins other than Flash. Silverlight, Java, Acrobat and the like are no longer supported.

    Last I understood, the chat is Java based...
    So my questions is; Will this be an impact in-game, or has there been a work-a-round already implemented?

    p.s. There was also a mention of a change of support regarding Direct2D and content rendering.
    (When not using Direct2D on Windows, Skia is used for content rendering)

    =================================================

    Okay, I updated Firefox to the 52.0 ESR for windows XP and Vista OS.
    Client seems to work (as does the chat window) with no problem introduced (quick test only).

    Their site states that this was the last feature related update for the above mentioned OS. Security updates will be available until September this year, then no further updates for anything.

    Looks like I will be shopping for an inexpensive OS and possibly a browser to go with it.
