MEB, this could be another defining moment for Windows 98/SE users because
you remember how Microsoft support for 98/SE and ME ended on July 11, 2006
and now if Mozilla Firefox support ends then users like me who use Mozilla
Firefox in 98 Second Edition will have to examine their options. It may
indeed become that 98 is no longer safe to use on the Internet and/or will
users risk switching to Opera or another web browser that has not had nearly
as much testing as Mozilla Firefox.

Finally, users must realize that Internet Explorer has not been updated for
98/SE since July 11, 2006 so it is not safe or secure to use that browser for
anything other than Windows Updates in my opinion. Sure, you can always try
and decompile and use Internet Explorer patches for Windows 2000 but you take
the risk of breaking Internet Explorer for Windows 98 Second Edition and the
process is indeed time consuming and then you must track exactly what you did
for any error messages that may pop up and also you risk *.dll problems.
