Why don't current versions work on Microsoft Windows98 or Microsoft WindowsME?
Firefox3, Thunderbird3, Sunbird0.3 share Gecko 1.9 for display layout. Gecko 1.9 uses the cairo open-source cross-platform graphics rendering library. With cairo, rendering text doesn't work on Windows98, WindowsME, windowsNT.
OLD: may be able to build with GDI+ instead of cairo, but requires Microsoft's GDI+ dll. But as of 11 July 2006 Microsoft no longer supports Windows 98 and Windows ME, so Microsoft bugs are not going to be fixed.
