Editor\u2019s note: Mozilla announced a <\/em>free upgrade for Firefox 2.x users on Monday, January 19th, 2009 at 3:03 pm EST<\/em>. Check out the Mozilla Developer News announcement<\/a>, reposted below, for more details.<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Mozilla offered an update for all Firefox 2.0.0.20 users – a free upgrade to Firefox 3.0.5, the very latest and best browser from Mozilla offering more speed, requiring less memory, and providing the safest and easiest web browsing experience available.<\/p>\n

Firefox 2 users last received a \u201cmajor update\u201d in December, prior to the final release of Firefox 2. As of this point, Mozilla will no longer be actively issuing security and stability updates to Firefox 2. Additionally, Firefox 2 will no longer have Phishing Protection<\/a> as of January 20.<\/p>\n

We strongly recommend that our users upgrade to Firefox 3<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re running Firefox 2.0.0.20, you can select \u201cCheck for Updates\u201d in the \u201cHelp\u201d menu to receive an update right now. This is what the offer will look like:<\/p>\n

\"Firefox<\/a><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t receive an offer for some reason, you can download Firefox 3 from http:\/\/getfirefox.com\/<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
