Opening .NEF files in PS3 on Windows XP

Question

I cannot open my .NEF images in my PS3 that I took on my Nikon D7000.  I am trying to convert them to .jpeg and I have tried to open them in Bridge and I have also tried to convert them to .jpeg through tutorials I have found telling me to use the image processor tool in Photoshop.  I cannot even see/view the images in Bridge and when I go to convert them to .jpeg, it tells me it cannot be done.  I am new with shooting in raw and I have always shot in .jpeg, so this is all so new to me.  I am not sure if all of my programs are way too outdated to be able to do this, including my operating system (Windows XP).  Shouldn't it be possible for me to open these images and convert them to jpegs?  Is there an update I need to download, or something, to make this work?  PLEASE HELP!

Thank you for your reply.
I i can drag & drop a website from Firefox on Mac onto my desktop and reopen it in Firefox in Mac AND Safari Browser, why i cannot open them in Firefox on Windows.
I can drag and drop URLs from Firefox on Windows and reopen them
So what's so wrong about adding support for these kinda files making them work vice versa?
I'm working this way because it's easier and faster and more organized for many reasons when exchaning URLs.
Reason 1.: (keep things organized and in focus)
If i send somone many many web documents (research), there is much more information at first sight, rather than copy pasting the URLs itself plus having to add a description to every URL.
For example this particular page here where we are on it describes itself in the web document name:
''' opening .webloc files in Firefox on Windows Firefox Support Forum Firefox Support'''
read it > double klick > open in browser tab > done
or else
'''https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/761091'''
if converted to text only (e-mail, etc.) then i have to > mark url > copy/paste > add in browser.
Understandable?
But, hey, there is no reason for a reason because there are so many reasons. Fact is that a file which was created from Firefox should work Cross Plattform.
Or du you think i will stay with the external "webloc2url" Perl Script Application forever dragging webloc files from FF on Mac one by one?
If there is a single person who can write a Perl Script application converting/re-writing webloc files to correct URLs and open them without the hassle, why a company like mozilla can't do implement the code into FF?
Go and Google all the complaints about webloc files from Mac.
I mean, ehm ...
