Firefox 3.5.5 can run on Windows 2000, and is recommended.
What version of Ubuntu are you running? I have 9.10 installed in a dual
boot environment with XP, and Firefox 3.5.5 runs very well. That would
indicate that there is some conflict specific to your system.
You are correct that FF 2.0.0.20 is the last version that will run on
Win ME.

disrespect for other operating systems giving us that little extra pain
in the ass.
