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. This preference, along with browser.safebrowsing.remoteLookups, determines whether or not the Safe Browsing functionality is active.
Possible values and their effects
True
Compare visited URLs against a blacklist or submit URLs to a third party to determine whether a site is legitimate. (Default)
False
Disable Safe Browsing.
Caveats
- If this preference or browser.safebrowsing.remoteLookups is not set (neither true nor false), Safe Browsing will do nothing.
