This started happening today, every time i choose cache for a website, it send the warning this site is phishing, i use yahoo so it tags http://74.6.238.254 as a phishing site, that number is the search cache of yahoo.com. I have some idea this has to do with the fact i dont use google at all and i block most of the cookies from that search engine, but this only started today and i blocked google since 4 ever.

Firefox uses the Google service for identifying unsafe sites. Obviously a search engine cache can contain pages from zillions of sites, some of which are likely to be bad apples. Hopefully the block is temporary until the specific situation is resolved.

If you want to disable this feature, I think you would uncheck one or both of the "Block..." checkboxes under:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Security

However, I haven't tried it myself, and the risks might outweigh the benefits.

Yea, i dont feel like disabling any of the security measures of Firefox, what puzzles me, is this just started to happen today (or yesterday depend on timezone). Guess, ill have to keep on getting that annoying phishing warning for no reason.
