  Once again FF3 brings in this dangerous IDN feature
That can be used by phishers.
Naturally, to disable about:config

Click the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button, to that silly FF message about "This might void your warranty!" . o O ( What warranty? )

type: network.enableIDN into the filter
find the line that says "network.enableIDN default boolean true"

double click to change it to "user set boolean false"

*poof* we're done. Closing the IDN security hole that keeps coming back every time a clean
install of FF is done.

Will they never learn ?
