The Mozilla Foundation, which makes the Firefox web browser, is working on a new feature that aims to warn internet users when they visit a site that has suffered a previous data breach. For this, Mozilla has joined forces with the specialist website HavelBeenPwned.com. 

The upcoming feature will eventually take the form of a new notification to the left of the address bar. However, for the time being, it's an experimental extension, for which source code has been published on GitHub.
