Background

Firefox 2.0 incorporates the Google Safe Browsing extension in its own Phishing Protection feature to detect and warn users of phishy web sites.

Some information about the user’s interaction with the Safe Browsing feature (if the user encountered a phishy page, what they did when the warning popped up, etc.) is collected and then reported back to the URL in this preference if this Safe Browsing service is selected in browser.safebrowsing.dataProvider.
