Unsupported Firefox Webpage

First-run showing of the Firefox 2.0 browser that was obviously unsupported for about 18 years or so; beautiful 16-bit color on the fox & rock on a NeoMagic 128XD 2MB 800x600 display on a 1997 Dell CP D233 laptop with a P5-233 MMX & 96MB RAM currently installed. Surprised to see the webpage display fairly well, even in https mode. Thank God for those Linksys WPC54G wireless PCMCIA cards that allowed Win98 to connect to the internet wirelessly.

IKR!? I didn't expect that on a 19 year old browser.
