Win2000, just shuts off from Firefox 10.x
wrote in message
... Computer has Win98SE and Windows 2000 (dual booted). Win98 hardly ever crashes, and runs fine. The computer is a 14 year old 1GHZ processor with 512 ram (max ram allowed). And a total of 240G HDD (two 120G drives). I dont use Win2000 very often, but when I do, it usually worked ok. That was until I decided to upgrade Firefox. Win98 wont allow anything above FF3.x (with KernelEx). I had the same installed in Win2K, but found that FF 10.7 was the last version made for Win2000, so I decided to install it. It worked for about 20 minutes, I opened another website, and moments later, the entire computer just shut off. WTF????? use http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.php?old_firefox=12460 Version Firefox 10.0.12 (ESR) Supported Systems Windows 95, 98, Me (Firefox 2), 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8 Release Date 03 January, 2013 (2 years ago ) |

Win98se will NOT run FF10.x. Even with KernelEx installed. And Win95, not at all. But FF10.x IS supposed to work on Win2K. (But from what happened to me, I have my doubts).
