Firefox To Drop Support For Windows 98, Me | |
|
||

Mozilla Corp. will drop support for the almost-obsolete Windows 98 and Windows Millennium operating systems when it releases Firefox 3.0 sometime in 2007, the company said last week. Surprisingly, the decision -- which closely followed a move by Microsoft not to patch a critical bug in Windows 98 and Millennium -- was met with some resistance. One contributor to Bugzilla, the database of fixes for Firefox and other Mozilla software, immediately added a "counter bug" entry questioning the decision. | ||

Well, since it's open source, anyone can go off, get the sources, tweak as necessary to make it work on 9x, and release it (depending on the license details). So if there's enough demand, it will find its way.
Of course, many Firefox users use it because they believe it is more secure than IE. So what would they be doing running it on an 8-year-old OS that has zero security functionality in it? |
