Firefox 3 will automatically block malicious websites

Mozilla is currently considering adding a tool that allows Firefox 3.0 to automatically block access to suspected websites that contain malicious code.

Mozilla's security director declined to provide details about the new feature. However, a full-featured Firefox designer's blog has been fully published. Information about this feature has also been posted on the Bugzilla forum - a Mozilla management forum that tracks changes in its products.

" The way Firefox 3 blocks suspicious sites containing malicious code is similar to the way Firefox 2 blocks a suspicious website that could steal users' information ," said Mozilla's Alex Faaborg, a design expert. . " Mozilla is now shaking hands with Google to develop features ."

Meanwhile on a topic being discussed on the Bugzilla forum with comments from Mozilla and Google employees - including Mozilla technical director Chris Hofmann and system development director Mike Shaver - details how Firefox 3 has been revealed.

The discussion topic revolves around how Firefox 3 warns users when the browser blocks access to malicious websites. Then the user will not be able to access the website that is suspected but instead the "Scarier error page" error page.

" If the website the user is accessing is not on the browser's blacklist but is warned by Google that it contains malicious code, it will be blocked ," said Jesse Ruderman, a Firefox developer. .

Mozilla experts will be there from now until mid-July to research and develop and integrate into the first test version Beta 1 Firefox 3 will be released July 17.
