To be clear, Mozilla dropped support for XP and Vista in Firefox's regular "rapid release" channel; XP and Vista users were migrated to the Firefox ESR channel in March 2017 and will continue to receive ESR security updates until this September. Microsoft ended support for XP in 2014 and support for Vista in 2017. Chrome dropped support in 2016.
