I didn't notice this and stupidly overwrote my old FF 2.0.14 - then had a horrible time downgrading again as I didn't discover the problem until AFTER my auto-backup ran. Stupid on my part - but WHY did the dump Panther support? Yea, its in the release notes which I should have looked at, but it would have been nice if the download link said "No Panther" or something similar.

And because I stupidly didn't have a backup, finding a copy of 2.0.14 was virtually impossible - 3.0 spread like wildfire and NO-ONE had 2.0.14 for download. I *FINALLY* found 2.0.6 somewhere, installed it, then let it auto-upgrade to 2.0.14. AARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

I also note that they've apparently discontinued support for WinBloze 95/98 also - I haven't tried it on my old Win 98 laptop yet.

Thanx Mozilla...





Oh my God..... all of that sounds hideous and the only words I even understood were "quite the adventure"....... Zorba...... I'm scared.....
