We strongly encourage all users to upgrade to Firefox 2

Opening FireFox, users of supported versions 2.x and 1.5.x should receive an alert that updates are available or have been installed, depending on your settings.

If you have not received the update, you may be running an older, unsupported version of Firefox such as version 1.0.x. To check your version, click “Help” and then “About Firefox.”

An unsupported system is extremely insecure so make sure you upgrade.
