Using Firefox 8 and latest Flash player in win98
I just installed the latest Kernal-Ex version. It says in the text
notes that it will run Firefox 8. Has anyone tried this? Will it run FF 4 or 5? I'd like to go beyond FF 3.x, which always had bugs, but dont really need to go to version 8. Also will it run the newest version of Flash player? I'd appreciate if this message could get a simple reply answering the questions, without starting any flame wars, or drifting off topic. I do appreciate all help on this group, but it seems that everything turns into a flame war and gets so many unrelated replies that it's hard to find the actual answer in a flood of useless replies. Thanks |

I'd like to go beyond FF 3.x, which always had bugs, What bugs are you referring to in FF 3.x? That's as far as I've gone, and I think it's far enough. :-) (version 3.5.8, which avoids the java hassle of 3.6 and above, although that too can be resolved) Actually I'd stick with FF 3.x but the main bug is that it goes into offline mode for no reason. Annoying as hell..... I understand this was fixed in later versions. Another bug is where when I load tabs, other browsers will add the newest one always to the right. FF will stick the new tab in the middle or anywhere it wants to. This is real frustrating when for example I load lets say 5 youtube pages. And lets say that all of them are from the band, the Beatles. So, I wait for the videos to download, then I watch them. But with "stick the tab anywhere", I often dont remember which ones I saw and which are still loading. This is frustrating. I dont know if that was fixed. For the purpose of avoiding bloat, I'd prefer to NOT go to version 8. I hate bloatware and understand that the newer versions of FF are just that. But I'd sure like to go up at least one version with the hope these bugs are removed. Ver 4.x or 5.x would be a good compromise. but dont really need to go to version 8. Also will it run the newest version of Flash player? Well, some of this was already commented on by 98Guy, and his tweaks, in one of the other posts this and last week. Did you see it? Also, did you check out the KernelEx wiki web page, which talks about the compatibilities? No, what thread are you referring to? No again, what is the URL? I'd appreciate if this message could get a simple reply answering the questions, without starting any flame wars, or drifting off topic. I do appreciate all help on this group, but it seems that everything turns into a flame war and gets so many unrelated replies that it's hard to find the actual answer in a flood of useless replies.

And not JUST about FF, either. :-) I agree too, though it always remains possible that FF in their questionable wisdom might decide to strip out some bloat and go with some late great stability. So it would be useful to know if v8 will run on W98 in any form at all.. Currently only Opera can be expected to work with late versions, and not all of those, and they aren't testing beyond basic load-and-run tests. |
