Mozilla to remove anti-phishing feature from Firefox 2.0

Anti-Phishing

Mozilla is going to remove the anti-phishing feature from Firefox 2.0. The reason described is the request from the search engine giant, Google, which provides the phishing data through a SafeBrowsing protocol. The feature will not be available from Firefox’s version 2.0.0.19. Users can either upgrade to Firefox 3 or if they want to stick with Firefox 2.0 then they can use third party tools that add phishing protection.
