last supported mozilla is very out-of-date and last icab classic is lacking..classilla is the only choice to keep your old mac surfing..especially when it comes to new js/ajax websites
Speaking of ajax websites Firefox 3.6 & SeaMonkey 2.0.2 (Windows) still has a page loading problem. K-Meleon doesn't suffer from this problem.

not necessarily spyware especially that it's in the about dialog..if they wanted to collect and use your info they will probably do it in secrecy. the name and sometimes address parts are extracted from the registry to show you it's a personal edition sometimes for coyright reasons..just like windows does in the windows about dialog or computer properties you will find your name and sometimes company displayed.that information was entered when windows was first installed and it remains in the registry so all other programs(especially commercial) can use when your register a software etc. nothing to worry about
panzer.. i can understand why they omitted matroska..it's very complex and could take a long time for conversion plus problems with audio when converting to/from other formats for that it wasn't very successful and still kinda rare.. mostly popular in russia only
