Suggesting using an decades old and known exploitable browser because “well I never got hacked” is like saying vaccines are unnecessary because “well I never got sick”
For the sake of being complete, I downloaded Firefox v2.0.20, which of course does not come in x64 flavour. So after installing assorted i386 libs, it did in fact run. The first-start popped up the image below, after which it showed a clearly broken and distorted mozilla.org page. It was also essentially unusable, since it doesn’t meet the minimum TLS requirements to view most sites. Disroot SearX, ddg.gg, StartPage, ecosia.org, and even the client test page at ssllabs.com all failed to load. google.com did load, but searching for “alternative search engines” was a failure because none of the sites in the results could be opened. Now did you really think that me saying v2.0.20 is the last “good version”, meant that anyone should rush off to download it and try to use it today?

Feel free to point out where anyone suggested that anyone else should use “an decades old and known exploitable browser”.
