If folks don't know to look and demand https in sensitive situations, then it is unlikely that the browser can help those folks much in this regard. I know that there are dialogs boxes that popup asking are you sure you want to submit form data over a non-secure channel (or something similar). I would imagine that most people choose the I know what I am doing, don't bother me about this again button. Perhaps this dialog box keeps bugging folks and the only way to turn it off is via about:config. If they are smart enough to figure out about:config setting, then hopefully they should be smart enough to know to look for https.

Unlikely, most phishing attacks don't even use SSL...
