Firefox is unable to warn me of malicious websites like: https:// financeonline. to/in-en-azim-hashim-premji-loop/ ?header=logo&sxid=a3k8k1w6z21u&ttorigin=a3k8k1w6z21u&fbclid=IwAR2Dg3DQ5KSRRxmq3kQS46qbtIC15_m_8lVXNP2Pbjtnxy47QI1EC8vOOzA

Whereas MS Edge Defender Screen did a wonderful job, and also Norton safe web did well in this regard.

Firefox's phishing and malware protection feature uses data from Google's SafeBrowsing project. Seems that URL is not currently listed as a problem:

https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=https:%2F%2Ffinanceonline.to%2Fin-en-azim-hashim-premji-loop%2F%3Fheader%3Dlogo%26sxid%3Da3k8k1w6z21u%26ttorigin%3Da3k8k1w6z21u%26fbclid%3DIwAR2Dg3DQ5KSRRxmq3kQS46qbtIC15_m_8lVXNP2Pbjtnxy47QI1EC8vOOzA
