I think in FF1 and FF2 it would periodically download a list of "bad" |
| 6 |
URLs (FF1) or a list of hashes of bad domain names (FF1 and FF2) and |
| 7 |
check the local list for hits. In FF3 I believe the phishing filter |
| 8 |
submits every site to google as you browse, in real time. It may |
| 9 |
download the list, too. I'm not entirely sure. Disable "Block reported |
| 10 |
web forgeries" and "Block reported attack sites" in Firefo if you'd |
| 11 |
rather not (potentially) tell Google about every URL you ever visit. |

The host sb.google.com contains the lists. |
