I need a web browser for my Windows FW 3.11. I used Internet Explorer for few times, but it is terrible. *-)

What did you expect from a web browser that hasn't been updated since 20 years?

If you're into MUDs, there is an old version of zMUD which works under Windows 3.1 as well.

Using Win32s, you should be able to run the 32-bit versions of Netscape Communicator 4.72 and Opera 4.01 without major problems:
