Mozilla is not planning any further security and stability updates for Firefox 2, and recommends that you upgrade to Firefox 3 as soon as possible. It's free, and your settings and bookmarks will be preserved.
Also, the Phishing Protection service will no longer be available for Firefox 2 users. Firefox 3 offers a free Phishing and Malware Protection service, which will continue to protect you from online scams and attacks.
Links do not open in Firefox
Show content customized for:
If you click on links or URLs in other programs and Firefox fails to open the target page, try to make Firefox the default browser.
If links still don't open in Firefox, see Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work.
Windows:
Some programs are hard-coded to open Internet Explorer rather than the default browser. Some of these programs are:
- MSN Messenger
- AIM 5.9 - Upgrading to the latest version of AIM will allow you to open links in Firefox.
