Sounds bizzare, but do you have IE6 installed & updated?
No... should I? The idea of upgrading IE to run Fx3 successfully sounds strange...

Have you restart your PC after uninstalling Fx3 and after installing Fx2 as default browser ?
I have done the latter, not sure about the former.
You can try to install Fx3 in custom mode (instead of in standard mode) with creating a new folder (named different as "Mozilla Firefox" in Program files, "Mozilla Gran Paradiso" for example) ?Personally I have both Firefox2 and 3 installed in two custom folders and it work perfectely
I will probably try that tomorrow but I don't really see how it would make a difference...

So try Firefox 2 first, run it one time and then try installing FF3 again.
UPDATE: just tried it.
- uninstalled Fx3
- installed Fx2, made it default
- installed Fx3 again
Sadly the problem still exists. Thanks a lot for your comment anyway!

Put Firefox 3 in XPSP2 compatibility mode. Right click on the executable and choose properties to get there. It should work after that.
I tried win2k and xpsp2 compatibility. I did, however, set this on the shortcut created in the quicklaunch bar. Do I actually have to set it on the executable itself?
I also should add that when I disable KernelEx compatibility (or before installing it) I get a completely different error compared to the one with win2k/xpsp2 compatibility set (on the shortcut in quicklaunch).
There is a thread listing KernelEx compatible applications here [...]This is why I don't understand why it would not work for me...

For a few days now I am trying to get Firefox 3 (3.0.10) working on a clean installation of the german Win98SE. From what I am reading, this should work, but it does not for me... Firefox just crashes at startup, even before displaying the main window. There is no old profile etc which could cause this btw.
Here is what I tried:
* install Win98SE
* install inofficial service pack => I tried with (latest stable and latest beta) and without this
* install latest KernelEx
Any help would be great.
Maybe someone could suggest a small freeware tool I could try which normally does not work on Win9x but should work with KernelEx so that I can make sure that KernelEx IS installed correctly? At that point we could try to find the problem with Fx3 on my system...

Hi there... today I had to install Windows 98 on some old PC and would very much like to have it run Firefox 3. I was very pleased to read that this is possible now with KernelEx!
Only problem: it doesn't seem to work for me. But maybe I'm just doing something wrong... hope someone can help!
What I did:
- installed a clean Windows 98 SE (German version)
- installed the inofficial service pack from http://www.nandlstadt.com/win98sp.htm (2.1d)
- installed KernelEx 4.0 RC2
- installed Firefox 3.0.10
The installation went smoothly but on start, Firefox tells me that it crashed and that tabs will be restored on the next run if possible. I never even see the Firefox main window.
Any idea? Is the service pack not supported with KernelEx? I uninstalled it but that didn't make a difference...
UPDATE: just did a full re-installation and this time used the 3.x beta of the service pack, same result

Fine... I will give this another try with IE6 SP1.
UPDATE: and I did... well... Actually, installed IE6 on my old installation and it did not make a difference. Then I reinstalled everything and this time KernelEx just works... I'm not aware of doing anything differently at all :/
However after that I used 98lite to completely uninstall even IE5 and everything still works. I also installed the inoffical SP2.1. After that I had to re-install KernelEx but once rebooted, everything worked fine again.
