If you are interested in Firefox's user interface for malware
detection please comment over in that bug, or in this thread.

Hi, I really like it. A couple things worry me, so I would like to
know more about them. Is the small divider between the location bar
and the message box intentional? Why isn't the message box the full
width of the location bar?
The same goes for blocking standard popup windows; the extra, yellow,
bar the appears at the moment really annoys me so changing the
background of the location bar to yellow (a different yellow to SSL-
encrypted sites or a different colour altogether) would be a real
annoyance-eradicating improvement.
By the way, Firefox nees a "Temporarily allow popups from..." feature
so that we don't have to permanently allow popups from a site that, in
all likelihood, we'll only visit once and forget about. Even after
allowing a site, nothing happens. Firefox should reload the page (if
the user hasn't typed anything into any forms) so that they're not
wondering why the popup still hasn't appeared and give up and press F5
instead.
Exactly.
If this protective "feature" ends up being insanely persistant or not
able to be disabled,
I'll happily just use Konqueror instead of FF in my KDE enviornment.
Do you regularly browse to sites that Firefox considers are phishing sites?

While alerting a user to the danger of a phishing site, I would agree
that there should be various levels of warnings (basic, advanced,
none: slider and checkbox?). I would like to see the ability to
disable the warnings all together. I'd like to expand on the idea of
temporarily disabling pop-ups to temporarily disabling phishing
warnings for a site as well: it would allow for more robust
development and viewing environment.
