Note: This is not the final release of our Web browser, it has been made available for testing purposes only, with no end-user support. If that sounds scary, you'd probably be better off with the latest version of Firefox 1.0.

There has been some discussion in assorted geeky places about browser developers adding things to combat phishing scams. (That's where you get an e-mail that pretends to be from someone like PayPal or your bank and asks you to click on a link to verify your personal info. You click and get a page that looks like it's from whoever but really isn't.) One of the methods is to always display the location of a page, even if it's a popup with "location='no' " in the command that opened it. That way, someone who thinks s/he's going to paypal.com and ends up somewhere else can at least tell what happened.
Does anyone know if FireFox 1.5 does this?

Currently, I am using both Opera and Firefox. I like the Opera browser better, but Firefox has more extensions and is compatible with more software. Hopefully this new version will finally make it as good as Opera.
