Background

Firefox incorporates the Google Safe Browsing extension in its own Phishing Protection feature to detect and warn users of phishy web sites.

The list of phishy websites (and of malware-hosting pages) is normally updated periodically from Google. If one of the updates fails, though, Firefox must use an outdated blacklist. To avoid this, Firefox will automatically re-check a site if it looks phishy and the blacklist is possibly out-of-date.

This preference contains a list of SQLite tables in which possibly out-of-date data may occur.

Possible values and their effects

A comma-separated list of SQLite tables containing phishing/malware data that may be out-of-date when updates fail. Default value is goog-phish-shavar,goog-malware-shavar
