One of the most dramatic security changes within Firefox 3 is the blocked page. In Firefox 2, the browser screen would go dark and a window would open saying the page was suspected to be a forgery. No more. Firefox 3 blocks the entire page, unless you dare to ignore the warning and continue. Notice the red Border Guard icon in the upper left-hand corner (more on him later).
