I received a message, purportedly from Firefox, that Win2K is no longer supported. Is this true? If it is true, can I continue to use FireFox under Win2K? What are the possible vulnerabilities? I access the internet through a wireless router which has a firewall. Thanks.

Thanks, the article was helpful. I do not want to upgrade to Windows 7, but Win/XP is an option for me. Will FireFox be compatible with Win/XP?

Also: if I continue to use FireFox with Win/2K, what is my exposure? I access the internet through a wireless router which has a firewall. Thanks.
