Facebook Phishing Protector works by blocking suspicious scripts or websites that attempt to mimic Facebook in order to gain your login credentials. The add-on warns you when questionable activity is detected while logged into Facebook.<\/p>\n

The extension is fairly new so there aren’t a lot of bells and whistles to speak of. Additionally, the white-list provided by the author is fixed. The white-list cannot be edited because of security concerns, but suggestions on future white-list entries are welcomed by the author. You can add Facebook Phishing Protector to Firefox and begin using it immediately, just install the add-on and log into Facebook.<\/p>\n
