Firefox 2 Beta 1 is intended for Web application developers and our testing community. Current users of Mozilla Firefox 1.x should not use [it]." Firefox's new built-in phishing protection warns users when they encounter suspected Web forgeries and offers to return the user to their home page, the spokeswoman said.

This list is automatically downloaded and regularly updated within Beta 1 when the phishing protection feature is enabled, she added.
