Browser.safebrowsing.provider.*.reportGenericURL
Contents
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.
When a user wants to report a possibly phishy website or a false positive, they’ll be directed to the URL in this preference if this Safe Browsing service is selected in browser.safebrowsing.dataProvider.
This is an enumerated preference: all preferences whose names start with browser.safebrowsing.provider. are read to generate the list of Safe Browsing providers. The * in the preference name is a non-negative integer, and matches the number in the other preferences needed to describe a provider. It also determines the order in which the providers appear in the options dialog.
Originally named browser.safebrowsing.provider.*.genericReportURL.
