Firefox 2.20 windows 98




















You would lose all your old documents when installing Linux. With not being able to copy those documents to a USB Flash device Win98 doesn't support Flash drives and no networks card, you really have no way of saving that data. I have 3 old PC's similar to that myself, but over the years that I actively used them I upgraded the RAM to the max the mainboard would use and installed larger hard drives as I ran out of space on the drives.

At one time all those older PC's were part of my local area network, so I could transfer files and print to printers connected to my main PC.

Even with those upgrades I eventually had to park them for daily use because they just weren't strong enough to run modern programs. IMO, let that old PC die gracefully. I don't know why I'm so attached to this computer but I am. It does have a lot of old docs, jokes, writing clips etc.. I tried attaching an HP external rewritable CD drive to download all my docs but it couldn't download a compatible driver.

Hoping I can figure out how to use it though - been using windows only for awhile now. Just one more thought though - if I do upgrade to Linux - I am worried the old versions of MS office might not work anymore. It wouldn't accept an adapter for WIFI usage either. Maybe my poor baby might wind up a donation to a more techie person who wants a new toy yet. Other Linux versions might work better on that old computer, but they may be harder to try out Live or install, Ubuntu seems to be a good one for just putting in the disk and it just works.

Thanks so much for your help. I also use Dillo on old machines when I just need Wikipedia. Yeah, it does not have nice prebuilt Win binaries as far as I can tell. You could run Web Rendering Proxy screenshots on a server, the browser would just be displaying pre-rendered images with imagemaps. These were important for Citrix, and quite a bit of software leveraged IE6 dll's, notably Ultra-Edit. This won't be the last one, but for Mozilla Firefox, the last version supporting Windows 98 without hacks was Firefox 2.

In case it wasn't obvious, surfing the web with an old browser and an old OS exposes you to roughly a gazillion day exploits. A Bad Idea. Perhaps in a VM which you reset after each session. But to browse the web you do need to be networked which will require careful setup to protect other machines on your LAN. And you may become a spam or DDoS bot within a minute or two, bothering other people.

Peter, but on the other hand, how many exploits are there in the wild that can survive in a W98 environment? In practice, using uncommon environment esp. OS and browser by itself greatly reduces the risk. Note: There is still no known workaround to run FF 36 - 41 crash on start and the corresponding forks with the exception IceCat Versions 12 - 23 are freezing after some seconds and are useless in today's internet anyway.

On XP Firefox repairs corrupt or wrong created data profile files immediately. Depending on the system, it may make sense to deactivate Javascript permanently. There are reports of systems in which JS does not work at all. FF42 and the higher versions are less affected. Open about:config and set "browser.

This leaves the new tab blank. It's possible to modify the string "browser. FF42 and higher versions haven't the string "browser. You can use the ClassicThemeRestorer to set an url. Workaround: With the first run you can remove search engines you don't want from the Search Engine Manager list and then set the search. After that add your favorite engines and set a Home Page.

Restart FF and check the functionality. If the first attempt fails, delete "search. A new standard theme comes with FF FF34 and higher versions come with five themes more. Choosing another theme solves the tab glitch.

Another solution for 29 and higher: Install add-on ClassicThemeRestorer 1. FF33 - Reduce the window size a little bit. Then it starts with Full Screen again and afterwards click F11 to exit that mode. FF42 - Usually it is sufficient to press the button twice after starting. Or: The boolean "layers. FF It starts without UI. The boolean "layers. Start and run it with a slightly reduced window size. Apparently the glitch is related to OMTC offmainthreadcomposition.

From version 33 on OMTC is enabled by default. Simply switching it off again solves the glitch, but makes the browser unusable. After you've installed DX9c set "layers. That completely solves this UI glitch for FF33 - Caution: This may not work with other hardware!

TLS 1. A workaround is required for version Override the Firefox Add-on Signing enforcement. FF33 - Set "media. It's possible to enable "media. FF Set "media. It should run on FF43 and higher by default. However, the new search should be a bit faster. Use portable versions or create different profiles for the installed. All my observations, tests, and findings were on real machines and not on a VM. All processors Intel meet SSE2 or higher and memory sizes are 2 and 3.

And m y OS is Windows Millennium. I attempted to use the program, but things are not working.
