I checked my options, and all the blocks are in place in the security options, and there are no exceptions in the add-on exception list. I only have a small number of add-ons, like flash, quicktime, and adblock plus.

The problem? When I go to the test sites for a phishing site and malware site, I am brought to the pages without the expected warning.

Is there something I'm missing? Some other way to test the filter?

Use the old test links instead

It should work when you upgrade to Firefox 10.0.1 which will be released probably on Friday.

What is failing is the test site rather than the process due to Firefox changing the locations of the test pages and the database they are using. ( a related discussion)
