a site i visit: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page was falsely flagged by google as harmful to computers (the ad host they used got hacked/ now removed from site) which this flag has been removed by google but Firefox is still reports it as an attack site based on my preferences which are the default settings i dont want to disable the block reported attack sites cause there are some legit sites that do get hacked and redirect to a virus but this site is not the case at all i am infact a member there and i am tired of the warning and its trying to redirect to stopbadware before opening a new tab

Try the website in safemode..


Try the Firefox Safe Mode to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

  • You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • Or use the Help menu item and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode" To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again. If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.

You can set the urlclassifier.confirm-age pref to 0 on the about:config page to let entries in the phishing protection database expire more easily.

  • bug 820283 - Sites stay marked as a malware or phishing even after removal from the SafeBrowsing DB
