Bah. Bah, I say.
There are already extensions for Firefox that provide for some form of antiphishing. Granted, the smarter way to go about antiphishing is to use the filtering software between your ears, but failing that, SpoofStick anyone? Face it. It's an idea whose time had come. IE7 was the first to make it an integral part of their browser, but since it's from Microsoft, I expect monthly, if not weekly or worse, security updates for it. As for me, I use either Firefox or, to a much lesser extent, Opera, for very nearly all of my surfing, and, like other posters here, only use IE for Windows Updates.
