I first reported with the Mozilla Project Weekly Status: December 1st, the upcoming Firefox 2.0.0.19 release is not going to have the Antiphishing Protection that was introduced with Firefox 2 back in 2006. According to an article on Computerworld Security, the feature is being remove by Google’s request because the older browser line uses an obsolete protocol. “The Phishing Protection feature in Firefox 2 relies on data provided by Google via the first version of the SafeBrowsing protocol,” said Beltzner, who explained that Google and Mozilla had worked together to update the protocol, first to SafeBrowsing v2.1 late last year,…

As we await for the release of Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 (schedule for sometime this month), comes talk that there may be a Beta 3 release. According to this article from Linux World: Previous schedules published by Mozilla had limited Firefox 3.1 to only two betas before moving to a release candidate. In a long post to the “mozilla.dev.planning” forum, Mike Beltzner, the director of Firefox, said that Beta 3 is necessary to get a feel for the severity of the remaining bugs and an idea of how long it will take developers to eradicate them.
