Ideally, the browsers and mail clients should provide an additional option under the help menu (like the report broken web site option) which sends them to a localised phishing reporting site - perhaps even pre-filling some data based on the web page currently displayed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: There is a topic on Mozillazine at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=319412 which mentions some other ideas that may sit well with this log - e.g. centraly maintained database of bad sites which could be used to proactively prevent users visiting them once a site is known.

Although logged against Firefox, this should equally apply to all Mozilla browsers and mail clients.

This was implemented in 2.0 (Help>Report Web Forgery...) http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ There is also bug 328749 to implement something similar in Thunderbird *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 329292 ***
