Does anyone know if these issues effect 2.0.20? In other words, is it time to retire FF2?

If so does anyone know if there is any Win 98 compatible browser still issuing security patches? I still have 1 Win 98 box (& sadly, it's still my fav of my 3 machines).

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.6 Released
Wednesday February 4th, 2009

The sixth minor update to Mozilla Firefox 3 has been released. Firefox 3.0.6 fixes security vulnerabilities, improves stability, improves the ability for scripted commands to work properly with plugins and resolves a handful of other small bugs. The security fixes are detailed in the Firefox 3.0.6 section of the Security Advisories for Firefox 3.0.

The Firefox 3.0.6 Release Notes have more details about the fixes in this minor upgrade. Existing Firefox 3 users are expected to get it via the software update feature built in to the browser or their own operating system's update facility.

As a reminder, Firefox 2.0.0.x is no longer supported and contains known security vulnerabilities. Users should upgrade to Firefox 3 by downloading it from the Firefox product page

SeaMonkey 1 still runs on Windows 98 systems, see here for the Windows system requirements. However for SeaMonkey 2 (when released), Windows 98 is not listed as a required operating system, the user would need at least Windows XP.
