Display a warning if the contents of a link is not the same as the link text.
I.e. if you have <a href="X">Y</a> and Y contains a URL (or part of it, e.g.
just a hostname) y, display a warning and the linked location if X <> y. This
should help with phishing. The link display in the status bar isn't very
conspicuous.


Reproducible: Always
