The title given to this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is browser.safebrowsing.provider.*.reportErrorURL.

This article describes the preference browser.safebrowsing.provider.*.reportErrorURL. To add, delete, or modify this preference, you will need to edit your configuration — do not edit this article.

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.

If the user wants to report a false positive (a site deemed phishy that isn’t), they are 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.

Possible values and their effects

The URL for the false positive submission form.

By default, the following preference and value exists:

browser.safebrowsing.provider.0.reportErrorURL
http://{moz:locale}.phish-error.mozilla.com/?hl={moz:locale}

(The string {moz:locale} is replaced by the value of general.useragent.locale.)
