How to disable Google Safe Browsing
There is a red window that pops up saying certain sites are "attack" sites, and it is super annoying. Supposedly it is another one of Google's brainiac schemes called "safe browsing". I don't want it, it's blocking some of my favourite sites but I can't seem to get rid of it. How do I disable/remove/delete the bleeping thing?

Google Safe Browsing has been a part of Firefox for a very long time to protect users from known malware and phishing sites. It is not part of Google's recent policy change that many users are misunderstanding; the new Google policy change affects only Google products/services in which users must sign-in or log-in (i.e., you, the user, have established an account for that service).
