Phishing Protection is a new feature in FF 2.0, and it is designed to provide a warning and a reporting mechanism when a user visits a page that could be a phishing page. Page URLs are checked against a remote or local list of phishing pages, and if one is identified, the user gets a warning dialog. In addition users can report suspicious pages, which could eventually be added to remote and local lists of known phishing pages.

This document covers the client side of phishing protection.
