"the FF forum" Which forum is that? I don't find your nick in

I've never gotten much of anything useful out of the usenet firefox
forums, or any on-line firefox / mozilla forums.

All I know is that I get white-line banding on bitmapped images when I
scroll web pages up and down when using firefox 3, and I'm not the only
one to see that. I've also tried the Avant browser and I see the same
thing.

That's mostly why I stick to using firefox 2.0.0.20, and use Opera 11.61
for very occasional use.

The problem with Opera and Windows-98 (that impacts me) is in terms of
Java. Which is that Opera version 10.something (and higher) requires
the use of the "next generation" of Java plugin, and this next-gen
plugin for the JRE doesn't work on win-98 (even with kernelEx).
