Default 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?????

I presume that FF version also requires KernelEx. I was never able to
get that working with FF3 ...

This is really wrong. 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).
