Have you ever accidentally visited MySpace? Yeah, we probably have too, though, it was never a noticeable problem. In fact, we can’t even remember it happening, but it seems like it has to have happened… right?

Well, this Firefox add-on promises to detect MySpace in Firefox, and provide a pop-up menu to stop unsuspecting web-browsers from hitting up the social network. The plug-in is obviously a joke, but we found a great use for it anyway — avoiding phishing.
It’s called AmIOnMySpace.com? and it can be used to detect the real MySpace site. If for any reason the message doesn’t pop-up upon first visiting the social network, you’re not on the real site. The biggest problem with using this as a way of avoiding phishing sites is that it doesn’t alert users when leaving MySpace, so it’s still possible to get attacked from within.
