I respect your choice, but browsers are the one piece of software that you never, ever want to run an outdated version of. Websites really just don't stop working for new versions of browsers; browser/standards compatibility essentially only improves with time. The only thing you're getting with an old version is all of the security issues.

It depends on your use case. As I said, I often use browsers offline. Offline use makes security issues much less problematic.
