Is there a new Adobe product that opens a Fireworks PNG layered file?

I have read in a number of places that Fireworks is no longer supported or updated by Adobe, and the latest mac OS does not work with it. I read for one thing Fireworks is 32 bit and won't work on 64 bit. Adobe support is not helpful because they know nothing about Fireworks. The more folks can complain then perhaps we can motivate them to bring it back. I left a comment about it on https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html under the category Creative Cloud, requesting it be brought back and encourage others to do that. Maybe if we bombard them it will produce results.

The most important feature to me was the batch processing, and I'm avoiding updating my OS as long as I can so I can keep using Fireworks.

"I tried Elements 2020 but that didnt work at all even though Adobe customer servoce told me it would."

Yeah, don't trust Adobe customer service in regards to actually knowing anything relevant related to Fireworks: their primary intent and focus is on selling subscriptions and Adobe software. They are clueless about Fireworks.

The fact that they told you to use PS Elements is a typical non-answer. Photoshop is not the anwer either, and will cost you an eternal monthly rent.

Either get the Affinity apps at the current reduced price and/or install Fireworks in a Windows virtual machine.

It is actually possible to get a free WindowsXP virtual machine via these instructions (download Virtualbox for Mac instead - the steps are the same):

Then install Fireworks in your virtual machine. A trial version will do.

(Log in to your Adobe account before attempting to download the Fireworks CS6 trial on this page.)

Make sure to create a snapshot of the system and roll back to that snapshot before either trial of WindowsXP or Fireworks runs out.

Hi, Unfortuntelay Adobe hasn't added the ability to open layered Fireworks PNGs in Photoshop or Illustrator they basically left Fireworks users high and dry. The best option are these commands I made for Fireworks for batch conversion. One of the commands will batch convert layered Fireworks PNGs to layered Photoshop PSDs.  Obviously you'll need access to a computer that you can install Fireworks on or set up a dual boot.

I would say in the first instance let Adobe know you're not happy, these forums are user to user for the most part and I seriously doubt that any Adobe staff monitor the Fireworks forums. The more people that tell Adobe about Fireworks the better as far as I'm concerned because they act like it doesn't exist.

I think Adobe's idea is/was that people would switch to Photoshop or Illustrator, in actual fact a lot people switched to Sketch and I think now a lot of people are finding that Affinity Designer is pretty good too and the nearest thing you can get to Fireworks. As discussed in another thread if you buy all three Affinity products : Publisher, Photo and Designer there's a feature called Studio Link that effectively integrates all three apps into one and gives you a wide range of Bitmap and Vector tools under one ceiling and its pretty impressive.
