 Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 4:30 am Post subject: Firefox 3 and PIRT/MIRT |
|
|
Before submitting anything to PIRT/MIRT I always check if the URL in question is still active, or if the object in question has already been removed. I see no point of submitting anything that has already been resolved.
Firefox 3 does not give me that option anymore. I wanted to check if hxxp://customcars.com.br/index1.php is still active, but all I get from FF3 is a pop-up
| Quote: | The website at customcars.com.br has been reported as a web forgery designed to trick users into
sharing personal or financial information. |
Clicking OK will just show a blank page, and I have no way to determine if the site/page is still active.
Great for "ordinary" users, but useless for my purpose. I will investigate if there is a way to allow the website (or return code) to be displayed.

OK, it can be deactivated under Tools | Options | tab Security

The trouble is that if I disable these options, then I don't know if the site has already been reported (Help | Report web forgery).
It seems there is no option to show the Alert and the actual web site.

It's probably one of the about:config settings, but I have no idea which one. I wonder if these are documented anywhere?

Prefixing the URL with view-source: may bypass the phish filtering
(it does on FF2).
In about:config you can search for safebrowsing?

Thanks! Just tried; it seems not to do that in FF3 (same behavior as without the prefix).

This returns a few lines, but I am not really sure what is what...
