    Gosh, pluggable search-engine modules, what an innovative idea. Someone should tell Apple or the Firefox people about this, perhaps they could implement it on the client. Then your choice of search engines would be entirely up to the user, rather than being selected from a range pre-picked from selected partners of the search site...

    Sounds like a profile problem, maybe due to a broken plugin.

    The fix to tweak "network.enableIDN: did not work for me, even though the change in about:config claimed it was retaining the setting.

    I went to the spoof test sites and I was still being spoofed without any hint of a problem.

    The Adblock filter works like a charm, follow the instuctions here: http://users.tns.net/~skingery/weblog/2005/02/work around-for-idn-spoofing-issue.html

    Did you make sure to check the 'Site Blocking' option in Adblock options? I missed that step (as did the author of the instructions. After I made sure the option was checked it worked great.

    Clearing the cache doesn't make setting network.enableIDN to false start working. The compreg.dat method you linked to also is not a permanent fix as that file is recreated everytime you install an extension.

    The AdBlock method does work though.

    Nope. Did exactly that. about:config, clear cache, restart Firefox, test at secuna - wham. The spoof still works.

    The Adblock method of stopping this (mentioned earlier) is a nice workaround. Adblock has become quite a useful tool.

    Like the other poster said, you can edit the one file, or if you have the Adblock extension installed, add
    /[^\x20-\xFF]/
    to your expression list.

    A real solution for this problem is posted here

    The applicable part is:
    1. Install the Adblock Firefox extension.
    here
    2. Look at the Adblock 'Preferences' and go to 'Adblock Options'

    3. Tick 'Site Blocking'

    4. Add the following filter :-
    /[^\x20-\xFF]/

    This might help : (from http://users.tns.net/~skingery/firefox/Home_Page.h tml)

    Firefox is slow to load initially on Windows XP. You can speed this up a bit by using XP's built in prefetcher. Simply right-click on the Firefox icon you use to start the browser. Add the text /Prefetch:1 to the end of the line in the target field.

    The whole line should look something like the following:
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /Prefetch:1
