Bug Description

Hello,

I run Ubuntu 9.04 on my PC. Some days ago I installed Firefox 3.5.0 and upgraded it to 3.5.1 via the repository. Problem here is, that Shiretoko / Firefox 3.5.1 doesn't warn about Attcking Sites as it should (example site: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/its-an-attack.html )!?

With Firefox 3.0.12 or Opera there is no problem.

What did I wrong, does any one no a solution for this?

Many thanx and regards,

savalas

Sorry that I was a bit hasty and commented there before full search.

9.04, 3.5.1 , Universe repo checked. Clean test profile, no extensions, failure to warn confirmed when using the Fx test page for blocking phishing pages.

It is good to hunt around and find duplicate bug-reports. If you find duplicates then look up just under the bug-report's title and click on "Mark as duplicate" and then just type in the number of the one that has the most activity ;)

It looks like you are doing a great job here so i thought i'd try and show you the tools to make it easier for you :)
Thanks again and regards from

In Jaunty you need firefox-3.0 installed alongside firefox-3.5 for
full functionality. This has been fixed in Karmic.

Yes, that build has the search engine plugins. The ones in universe
do not.

The fixes should be in the security update staging PPA by
now. https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa

However, those package will have to take a weekend de-tour through
jaunty-proposed before they get in the -security and -updates
repository.

Would be precious if you could verify if upgrading to that ppa fixes
this bug for you.

 XUL is Mozilla's XML based User Interface language that lets you build

Plesae remember to also help verifying Bug 398205 ... which currently
holds back the rollout of this update. Would be great if we could get
