Mozilla To Bug Firefox Users With Old Adobe Reader, Flash, Silverlight

Posted by timothy on from the they-should-hire-an-annoying-mascot dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla today announced it will soon start prompting Firefox users to upgrade select old plugins. This will only affect Windows users, and three plugins: Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, and Microsoft Silverlight. Mozilla says Firefox users will 'soon see a notification urging them to update' when they visit a web page that uses the plugins."

    I run Win2k ...

    Firefox has detected an old version of Windows. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade Windows to the latest version.

    Opera is probably the wisest browser choice for Win2K.

    Then again, using an OS that stopped getting security updates more than 2 years ago on an Internet-connected computer implies you don't care much about making wise choices.
