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 you're side-stepping the point here.
To refactor:
even though a browser is so old that it has horrendous security vulnerabilities (i.e., it is from last week), it may technically work for displaying and navigating websites for a casual user, giving the illusion that they are still usable.
"Firefox 3" was an example. Showing that the example, under some conditions, is not a good example, does not work against that point, sorry.
