I wrote 13-15 years, because Intel did it 15 years ago and AMD 13 years ago. Crash-stats with FF >40? There was ~1 year ago a request at Avira to support non-SSE2 again with there scanner again... AFAIKR I wrote to it, that the user should have a look into BIOS if there is a SSE2 support that can be turned on, because I can imagine that this was a long time optional and e.g. after a BIOS-Reset it was turned off... Think there came never any answer back in the Feedback-Community... Is it possible in the stats to see, if the systems _should_ support it? (E.g. what kind of CPU is used by the system...) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
