That says Seamonkey still supports Windows 2000.


That appears to be an old page. The current version of Seamonkey does
NOT work on w2k.

As I expected, the changes (that make the new version incompatible with
w2k) are in the Gecko browser engine so would apply to any browser using it.

I just tried it to verify this. Seamonkey (latest version) puts up an
error message saying it requires at least XP SP2. The last version of
Seamonkey that supports w2k is from same time as the last version of
Firefox that supports w2k.
