Zscaler Safe Shopping Available For Firefox 4 Mobile

Mobile notifications

Version 1.1 of Zscaler Safe Shopping offers the same features as version 1.0 for Desktop browsers. However, the notification system on the mobile version is a slightly different. Extension developers can use either the built-in alert system, or display a dialog box to the user. The former system is less intrusive, but it seems that the implementation is different depending on the OS. Firefox 4 Mobile on Windows displays a nice panel at the botttom of the phone, while my Android phone shows a tiny message at the top of the phone. On my phone, the warning is barely noticeable, and does not work when the browser is in full-screen.

I've therefore added an option to choose the appropriate notification system. Users can choose the best option for their system.

Low bandwidth requirements

The list of fake and compromised stores is stored locally. It is refreshed once a day, but you can change it to a longer interval using the options. The denylist is about 11kb.
