That's likely to only happen if it goes up a stage like from 2.0.x to 3.0.x, and I think with the beta stages it's not likely it'll happen as most become compatible before the stable release is out.

Firefox for preference I.E 6 for updates or I'd not get them . Nothing later works with W2K and I've no intention of updating as long as it will work and stay stable.

Normally Firefox, but FF3 doesn't like my system, so I am trying to get used to Opera (after numerous attempts)

Firefox 2, Maxthon 2, & Maxthon 1.6.

Firefox... just because, not really sure why it ended up being my main browser, probably the plugins/extensions.

Maxthon 2 I use for some things, when I feel like it. It has a much better ad-blocker than Firefox, though to take full advantage of it you need to learn Regular Expressions. I know FF can use RegExes too, but compared to Maxthon 2's implementation it's rather limited.

Maxthon 1.6 I only really use for anything that has a lot of images, as Maxthon 2 & Firefox tend to get a bit bogged-down with them.

For anything over a few MB I prefer to use Orbit Downloader

I find mouse gestures very useful in both FF [via an extension] & Maxthon, but each to their own I guess.

You could use it in your email prog, unless you actually want to use it the webmail way.
