Firefox 3: New Malware Protection Against Internet Threats

General Esm H446
Mozilla, the company behind the open-source browser Firefox, announced previously that the next version of it browser, Firefox 3, will include a host of security features, among them protection against malicious downloads from Web sites. Dubbed malware protection, the feature will use a hash of the Web site's address, or URL, to compare against a list of sites known to host malicious downloads. I am glad to see web browsers are starting to take Internet security seriously. Do you think they are on the right direct as far as helping Internet security?
