You could try installing KernelEx and see if you can get Firefox 6 to run in it.

KernelEx allows you to run some programs made for XP under 98. You can download it from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kernelex/files/KernelEx

You may also trying to get flash 10.3 to run on it.

I don't think flash or HTML5 pages should be viewed under win 98

Opera is the best modern browser available for the 9x series.

How much RAM do you have; bear in mind that an average page will require ~40MB of RAM for the rendering process, high levels of HTML5 usage will raise that.

tl;dr: browsing on old machines is useless.

i have 256mb of ram and it's a p3 running at 650mhz. i got firefox 3.6.20 to run on my computer with flash 10.3 for firefox and ie run install too. now it loads all the web page's even you tube works on there. so thanks for the help!

I agree - Opera will run perfectly. I use Opera on my Pentium 1 laptop with Win95, faultless

On Windows 98 I tended to use Firefox but Opera is faster.
