frogman Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Just thought to ask as FF 3.6.13 works on Windows 98 with KernelEx-4.5-RC5, I am wondering if anyone knows what the system requirements might be for Firefox version 4 when it is officially released from beta?In other words will FF Version 4 work similar to FF V3.6.13?I know I could give the Beta a test, but I don't want to muck up my installation as it works really well at present.If anyone has tried it that uses win98 & KernelEx-4.5-RC5 is what I really would like to know.

cdoublejj Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hey if you like firefox but, hate that it uses 2 gb of ram if you leave it open all the time check out Palemoon it's a version firefox optimized for windows, it even has version OPTIMIZED FORE PENTIUM 3,4 AND ATHLON XP!!! On top of this it works exactly as the regular fire fox even the addons i am currently using it with kernel ex runs smooth other browsers would lock up so i got tired of it and got kernel ex.

cdoublejj Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 it can use more ram than it has with memory paging with uses your hard drive as memory. besides pale moon has an optimized version for legacy CPUs witch means it runs easier using protocols native of those CPUs.

M()zart Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 besides pale moon has an optimized version for legacy CPUs witch means it runs easier using protocols native of those CPUs.Does it? As I read from their site, it needs Pentium 4 or Athlon XP or higher processor. Where can I get this optimized version and read its requirements?
