If ‘tabbed browsing’ was the feature that transformed the web browsing world after the release of the earlier versions of Mozilla Firefox, the feature that will start the next revolution in the web browsing market is the one that has been incorporated in Mozilla Firefox version 2.0.

The revolutionary feature that I am talking about is none other than the inbuilt anti phishing protection due to be released in version 2.0 of the Mozilla Firefox web browsing software application.Mozilla Firefox has always introduced those features that seem very obvious in the hindsight.

After tabbed browsing became very popular, each and every surfer of the internet was found asking the same question-Why was this not thought of before? Each and every Whee web browsing software application developer was wondering- How was such an obvious feature overlooked?? How come nobody thought of this feature that offers so many advantages to the end user??

In Mozilla Firefox version 2.0, history will be repeated when Mozilla Firefox introduces the inbuilt anti phishing feature. Till date, the surfers of the internet have been forced to rely on external software applications like antivirus software applications and anti spy-ware software applications to protect themselves from the hazards on the net. Mozilla Firefox has gone ahead and incorporated protective features normally offered by antivirus programs and anti spy ware programs in the web browser itself.

This integration combines the browsing capabilities and the security capabilities in a single software application. There is no doubt that this will definitely revolutionize the way people have looked at web browsing software applications.What is more, Mozilla Firefox has yet again understood the needs of the end users far better than other web browsers. When Mozilla Firefox introduced the tabbed browsing feature, performance and enhancement of productivity was top on the minds of the web browsing software application users.

The end user was tired of compromising on his requirements and needs. The end user was desperate for a web browser software application that would not require him to compromise on his expectations but rather would raise itself to his expectations. To cater to the needs of the end user, Mozilla Firefox offered tabbed browsing in its earlier versions. Today, web browsing software applications no longer ignore quality, performance and productivity.

Internet explorer version 7.0 has incorporated the tabbed browsing feature.Now that performance and productivity requirements of the web browsing software application’s users are is being fulfilled, Mozilla Firefox is focusing on the next area that needs attention. Mozilla Firefox has rightly identified the next vulnerable area as the security requirement of the end user. Nowadays, a lot of private information is being transferred on the internet.

It has become essential for the surfer of the Internet to be protected against the antisocial elements on the internet.Mozilla Firefox has attempted to reduce the dependence of the end user upon external programs by incorporating this revolutionary security feature in the web browsing software application itself. The anti phishing feature does not allow the web browsing software application to load a suspect web site.

It is a well established fact that prevention is always better than cure. Till date, antivirus software applications have always tried to cure the problem of viruses and other malicious content on the Internet. Mozilla Firefox has gone a step ahead and has incorporated features that will prevent the problem from occurring. Since the suspect web site will not be loaded, there is absolutely no question of the user of the web browsing software application being cheated.

If the web browsing software application user insists on going ahead, he or she would be warned by the web browser that they must be extremely careful in disclosing private and confidential information to the web site.
