FM 6 + mif2go, or just FM 8?

I think Mike's on track with his assessment; MIF2Go will give your
more options as far as output goes, and also provide more tuning and
design options within whatever format you choose. However, I think
your goal of "any browser" would point you toward FM 8 for its better
graphics handling and Unicode support.

So my advice would be not to try to cut a corner on your tools and go
with current versions of both FM and MIF2go.
