Does Firefox web browser work in win98se?
955370
When my computer was running Win98se I had no problems getting Firefox to run.  According to the system specs for Firefox 2.0, you should be able to run the newest version of Firefox on your Windows98 computer.\n\nSpecs:\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html\n\nDownload Firefox:\nhttp://www.getfirefox.com

According to my research, Firefox, and all of the Gecko-based browsers, need server privileges in order to communicate properly with their password manager module. The actual connection they need is with localhost -- the computer they are running on, in other words.\n\nI assume the messages you are getting are from your firewall, yes? WIthout knowing exactly which firewall you have, here's some general information:\n\nFIrefox, being a Web browser, of course needs to be able to access the Internet, and the "trusted zone" part refers to your computer (yes, you can use your browser to open local files ... I get lazy and use Fx as a quickie jpeg viewer!). The server part I just explained.\n\nI have no idea WHAT the person above me is talking about! I'm not too sure that he does either.

Open Firefox\nGo to Tools / Options\nClick "Check Now" button\nClick "yes" to make Firefox your default browser\nClose all browsers\n\nThen click a link to see if that works.

This stumped me for a while ..  It is not a Windows 98SE standard feature at all - and I've never seen in before in over 100 installs.\n\nTry installing (or reinstalling) the patch located at:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/contents/WURecommended/S_WUFeatured/1394/Default.asp\n\nFor more information on what the patch does, see: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=242975\n(Which is for firewire and has nothing to do with USB drives, but it happens to have the stuff to add the "safely remove hardware"...)\n\nIf you don't have a 1394 (firewire) device that required this, then the only other way it could have gotten on your system is that it was included with a USB drive and installed.\n\nDo you have a USB mass storage device?\nDid it come with driver software?\n\nIf the above Microsoft patch doesn't work - follow the original directions and reinstall it.\n\nAlso see this page: http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.php\nIt has generic Win98SE USB driver link, but I don't know if it's Microsoft  - or who wrote it.\n\nAs has been previously stated (and is restated in the page in the link above) Windows 98 doesn't really need any drivers.

If you're on a Windows PC, then you've already got IE installed (make sure you are running IE 6 though).  Since it's 90% market share, almost everything works with it, including things like streaming media and other ActiveX-style plugins.  Firefox is newer and has some cool features.  Since it's growing fast and is based on W3C standards, most sites support it.  Sometimes you run into a site that doesn't work right in Firefox because they made some assumptions on IE.  I've also had some problems getting streaming media to work as well on Firefox as on IE.  Since Firefox is open-source, you find a lot of people developing plug-ins and other add-ons for it.

Download Foxfire. .. it is a free browser . . . if he runs Internet Explorer, they have been sending bad code lines that disable Win 98, Win 98se, and ME explorer programs.  Just do a search for FOXFIRE browser and the download is free.

Yes.  The main security feature of Firefox is the fact that it lacks ActiveX controls which is why IE has so many security holes... also IE is still far more common than Firefox so IE is attacked more then Firefox.  That doesn't mean there aren't exploits for Firefox but most of them are harmless and will just cause Firefox to crash and all you have to do is clear the cache and restart Firefox, no harm done.  The reason IE is so terrible is because the ActiveX controls are tied into the operating system so it is possible should an exploit be present, for someone to hijack your system.  I know of no such exploit for Firefox, though, I could be wrong.\n\nJust use Firefox, it's better, http://www.mozilla.com/

I have W98 and WXP and Firefox.\n\nBookmarks:\nLook for file "bookmarks.html" which could be in any location depending on how your W98 was setup.  On one of my machines it's in C: WINDOWS Application Data Mozilla Firefox Profiles t3srrukp.default  Copy that file to a similar location, notwithstanding that XP will place your Firefox Profiles folder somewhere else.  Just look for where it places your new bookmarks.html file.\n\nExtensions:\nLook for *.xpi file, if you still have them.  Even if you found the extension installs, you'd still have to set them up on the new box.\n\nThemes:\nSame issue but I don't recall the file suffix, sorry.

Windows 2000 and windows ME are two different operating systems. If you have windows 2000 it will work. if you have windows ME it will not. One more FYI dont update your IE for now. There are still compatibility issues with it. You can use the firefox with the adblock addon. This will work faster.

Install windows defender and clean your system first then\ntry using IE again. My personal favourite however is zone-alarm internet security suite for firewall, anti-spyware and anti-virus.\n\nFor your information : -> about:blank is a blank page. Type the url in the address bar and hit ENTER key for the webpage to be displayed. when you do that you should see the redirection in status bar. This can be used for trouble shooting.\n\nI would say firefox is better in terms of security, addons, pulgins, themes and a lot more. Internet explorer is faster on windows platform but firefox, primarily designed to operate on linux, has less troubles while browsing.\n\nSome websites however do not support firefox browser due to active-x usage with IE.

a quick workaround is try toinstall ie tab for firefox so you can launch ie "inside" firefox.\n\nbtw, it works for me. :)

IE used to do that to me, and maybe it still would, I dunno. I just downloaded firefox, and it didn't do that. If you want to try it, go to getfirefox.com

Yes. I customise my default browser to IE and enable access to Firefox browser in the Add/Remove  Program menu through the Set Access Program and Defaults box on the left side and choose Custom. Then tick your settings. Hope this helps.
