This is a patch to apply to the mozilla/FireFox code that enables DNSSEC checking of DNS lookups done within FireFox. A new preference screen is included that allows the user to disable DNSSEC validation at runtime.
DNSSEC Validation is done using the libval library and conforms to the policies defined in the dnsval.conf file.

The Plugin
There is also a firefox extension plugin that shows the user how many DNS lookups were done in order to display the current page. It summarizes the lookups based on whether they were validated, trusted because of policy or failed due to DNSSEC validation errors.
