Mozilla to Kill Win 98 and Millennium | |
|
||
| Time: 19:52 EST/00:52 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Michael Dragone | ||

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. | ||

AFAIK the current situation is that Firefox 2 will support Win 98 and ME, but Firefox 3 will not. An argument has been made that Firefox 2 should not either, but again AFAIK this decision has not been made.

| If you are running windows 98 - you are probably not using Firefox. |

WinME did a pretty good job of killing itself :)

| #3 Because ff has about 10% of the browser market. Of that, probably 75 percent are geeks or are tech saavy and have moved beyond 98 or me. The remaining 25 percent are probably on a non-ms os. |
