When you visit a URL with a username, eg
http://www.microsoft.com@somespammersite.com, Mozilla should warn that the site
may be trying to trick you.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type http://www.google.com@mozilla.org/ in the address bar.


Actual Results:  
No warning is given that you're not actually at www.google.com

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have warned that you're at mozilla.org, not google.com as it appears.
This is a dupe of bug 122445
So it is. I'm surprised that bug didn't show up in my search.
