If you are currently using Firefox 2, you should know that one of it's main security feature is that it has a build in
anti-phishing system or, by what they call at the Mozilla website, Phishing Protection. This feature is already activated by default, nothing special there. But did you know that there are 2 different list of blacklisted sites that are available to your Firefox? One is called the local list, the list from Mozilla and the other is the list from Google. By default, your Phishing Protection feature depends on the local list, but is there a different between these two lists?
Actually there is. Last year, Mozilla
did an experiment to compare whose
anti-phishing technology is better, Firefox's or IE's . Other than that, they also made a comparison between using the local list and Google's list for Firefox, this experiment is the one that we are interested in. Below is the result of the experiment:

From this result we can conclude that Firefox is better at detecting a possible phishing site when it is using the Google List, don't you agree with me?
So, how can we change Firefox from using the local list to using the Google's list? It is pretty simple actually,you just need to click on
Tools in Firefox's toolbar, then click on
Options. After that a menu will pop up, click on the
Security tab in this menu and you may change the list there. I have also prepared a short presentation, showing how to change the list from the pop up menu, please click on the link below to view the tutorial:
