Nope. Well, not 3.0 – 3.6 maybe.
I’ve got Firefox 3.0 and Opera 9 on an old BSD install (the latter
in the Linux emulation), and Firefox adds almost no value relative
to Opera *and* ProPolice often kills it due to buffer overflow
prevention. I think tinypic.com is the only thing that works
in FF3 but not Opera 9. And there aren’t really that many things
that don’t work in Lynx but work in either of them, nowadays;
too many things require more recent GUI browsers (map services,
for example) ☹
