Jim,

I would also suggest that you consider upgrading to a more recent  
version that supports Firefox 3.

Mozilla has stopped providing security updates for Firefox 2 (it is  
now deprecated software).

Also, the anti-phishing filter that was provided by Google in Firefox  
2 is now off at the request of Google.  It is active and updated in  
Firefox 3, along with an anti-malware filter as well.
