Reminder: Don't Auto-Update
We also wanted to remind everyone not to use the built in auto-updater with Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition due to an unfixed bug in the updater itself. As with all software in PortableApps.com Format, you can do an in-place upgrade (install the new version right over the old one) and all your data will be preserved. More here: Upgrading Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition and Bug 406335.
PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format
Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Thank you John :-) Ok guys,
Thank you John
Ok guys, the timer is ticking down. Update those Addons/Extensions/Plugins and Whatevers NOW!
If you can't, abandon them or find a replacement.
You really need to have your FFP2.0.0.19 ready to update to FF3.0.5 [or .6 if it comes out] within the next 30 days or so [sooner if a security bug is found].
FF2 has had a great run, time to let it go and move on

Sooner
It would probably be better to upgrade sooner rather than later. 2.0.0.19 removes anti-phishing as Google is shutting down the old version of the database (used by 2.x) in favor of the new one (used by 3.x). Firefox 2.x should drop off pretty quickly as the major upgrade notices are sent out this week.
I know...
I was just about to tell him that

Do you think I don't know what I am doing ?
I was using this as an opportunity to encourage fellow FFP2 users to upgrade.
I am well aware of the removal of the AntiPhishing filter. Funny, but in all the time I've used FF2 the filter has never "gone off", not counting the test site I actually had to look for.

Yeah, if you know what you're doing online and don't click suspicious links, the chance of setting off the phishing filter is nil. Unfortunately, the type of people who these filters /are/ designed to protect are generally the same people that just blindly click through warning prompts--which means they're going to get some form of malware sooner or later anyway.
Oh well, what can you do...
