But honestly, I find that FF 2.0.0.20 works VERY WELL on 99% of
the web sites that I browse to.


I was a bit more curious about this. So are you able to order
anything from amazon.com using version 2.0?


Amazon.com would probably want me to order from Amazon.ca.

But I've never ordered anything from Amazon.

I have ordered on-line from Tiger Direct using FF 2 within the past
year.

The OP seemed to suggest he couldn't, use the FF 2.0 version,
(or use it for YouTube, for that matter, which you may not use).


I have no problem accessing and playing videos on youtube.com using FF
2.

I'm just curious what sites might have issues.


I have problems with Hotmail (now known as "Live Mail" for some time).
I have a few dummy / throw-away e-mail accounts on Hotmail, and a year+
ago I noticed some major problems accessing it using FF2. I'm a little
fuzzy on the details, but I can bring up the list of mail in my in-box
but maybe I couldn't view any particular e-mail (or maybe I couldn't
compose or send any new e-mail or reply to existing ones).

I have some dummy accounts on yahoo and gmail and they work just fine
with FF2.

If I recall correctly, I don't think I could get gmail's "voice call"
feature working, but I'm not sure if that's a problem with the browser
or with win-98. Voice-call allows you to call a land-line while you're
logged into your gmail account. You need a working set of speakers and
microphone (preferrably a head-set) to make the call. You need to
download and run some sort of app or add-on for this.

I suppose some online banking sites might complain, too.


I perform some on-line banking using FF2 (credit-card balance and
statement look-ups at one bank, and I "pay bills" on-line by logging
into a second bank's website).

Within the past year I've bought airline tickets and rented rental cars
using FF2.

I access several internet domain registrars (namescheap and network
solutions) to change / alter DNS records using FF2.
