If you haven’t disabled it, Firefox periodically downloads a current list
of
malware addresses for its phising filter.
Thank you. Is this the checkbox: "Tell me if the site I'm visiting is
a suspected attack site."
Two options, in the "Security" tab:
"Block reported attack sites" and "Block reported web forgeries."
BTW, Firefox asks Google for the lists right?
Yes. This is what Google says:
http://code.google.com/apis/safebrowsing/firefox3_privacy.html
"your browser will contact Google's servers when you visit a potentially
risky site. It will also periodically contact Google's servers to
download the most recent list of known phishing and malware sites"
