Request for Browser Advice

I am running Windows Millenium on an old HP Pavilion (which I
understand is close to Win98).

My Internet Explorer ceased to work about when Microsoft stopped
maintaining it. Hence, I have been using Firefox ever since.

But I have learned that I cannot now upgrade to Firefox 3. Hence, I
am concerned that my Firefox may soon become unusable.

What browsers are you using?
What browsers do you like?
Are you able to get Internet Explorer to work? Many thanks!

Without upgrades, I expect that the older version of firefox will be a target and will become corrupt and unusuable. It is just a matter of time before it no...
