Ah so, , ,   and sure enough when I tried downloading Firefox from
<https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/>
with my Win 7 machine I was offered version 43.0.4
and when I tried the same DL link on my Win XP-SP2 machine and I was 
again offered version 43.0.1

If it's not a *BUG* but a *FEATURE* ISTM they should add that 
information to the web page.and revise the bug reports to indicate the 
actual situation

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1233779
"Bug 1233779 - Don't serve Firefox 43.0.2 and higher to XP SP2 users "
"Status: 	RESOLVED FIXED"
"Assigned To: 	Nobody; OK to take it and work on it "

<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1236171>
"Bug 1236171 - Manual download of Firefox 43.0.3 for Windows gives me 
43.0.1 instead "
"Status: 	RESOLVED INVALID "
"Assigned To: 	Nobody; OK to take it and work on it "
"URL: 	https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#en-US  "

Pick one:
1. Firefox folks are arrogant
2. Firefox folks are insensitive and stupid
3. Firefox folks are arrogant AND insensitive AND stupid.

I'm voting for the third choice.

Susan (and yes, Microsoft does come to mind)
