Does Firefox only rely on StopBadware to block sites?

Hi there:

We were hacked on Saturday but within hours, put things right. However, Google refuses to lift its warning even though we have had confirmation from StopBadware that our site is clean.

Rather than repeat all of the saga, there’s a bit more at Badware Busters on our case here (and why it’s Google that’s possibly at fault):

Despite the all-clear, I’m still getting the “attack page” warning. Google still incorrectly says there’s something wrong, despite not giving any evidence of this. Its approach is ‘It just is.’ Does Firefox rely on that incorrect Google data as well? Or is it Stop Badware taking Google at its word and putting us back on a blacklist?

It’s nearly six days now, and we have had advertising contracts cancelled and readers complain. Who believes me over the almightly Google, right?

Regards,

Jack

I believe Firefox uses a file downloaded from the Google SafeBrowsing service. This is refreshed on a schedule, by default I think it's every 45 minutes (2700 seconds).

Google doesn't share all of its data with other browsers, so you may see some differences between Firefox and Chrome.

Thank you, Jefferson. I wish Firefox wouldn’t rely on Google for this, because in this case it’s been very inaccurate (not unlike the time Google flagged its own YouTube back in February!).
