That doesn't make any sense. If you hash it once on client and once on server, that means that your password, as far as the server knows, is the client-hashed password. Nothing has changed in terms of security. In fact, you could implement this yourself by hashing your password when creating it and when supplying it.
That's actually a good thought though. It would prevent (clear text) password leaks from shitty / malicious websites. Having a standard for browsers to salt and hash password would have prevented a lot password leaks. On the other hand it could never be updated and we would most likely be stuck on md4 or something similarly broken.
Yeah now that you put it this way I realised my mistake. Thanks
