My system failed the anti-phishing/malware test. What can I do to fix it? I have Firefox 7 in Ubuntu
I clicked on a link in an e-mail from Mozilla Firefox <[email protected]> It took me to http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/its-a-trap.html which assured me that I was not protected from phishing. I didn't follow the instruction to download Firefox because I already have Firefox 8 and run it in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

Hi,
It looks like an educational official mail from Mozilla and the link also looks genuine. Anyway you fell into the trap set by Mozilla by directly clicking an email link :)
It could have been m0zilla.org (zero instead of the letter 'o' in mozilla). You can also check the email headers to make sure of the address.

When I typed out the address manually, the page was blocked. Thank you very much for your help.
Those domains have changed recently from mozilla.com to mozilla.org and the mozilla.org sites are not yet in the phishing protection database.
You can use the .com versions if you want to test.
