The new edition of Firefox browser will no longer offer users support for Windows 98 and Millennium operating systems. Mozilla's decision follows a Microsoft's refusal to patch a critical vulnerability discovered in its Win98 and ME, and an announcement from the same company that it will cease all future support for the two operating systems which it regards as being obsolete.
As a consequence, Firefox 2.0, scheduled for an August release and Firefox 3.0 that will follow this version in 2007 will kill the two OS rejected by Microsoft.
