Thanks Profman,

According to Mozilla Developer Center, the x-frame-options HTTP header can be used to indicate whether or not a browser should be allowed to render a page in a <frame> or <iframe>. Web sites can use this to avoid clickjacking attacks, by ensuring that their content is not embedded into other sites.

This feature has been available in Safari 4.0, Chrome 4.1.249.1042, Internet Explorer 8.0, Opera 10.5. Firefox 3.5 with NoScript AddOn also had this feature.

Mozilla is one of the major browsers where the recent DLL hijacking vulnerability is fixed now.
