Of cause firefox claims that the browser is working as intended and this is correct behavior (relying on the Google safe browsing API) Google on the other hand don't provide a working, reliable method to resolve their proprietary API database issues. Perhaps it is time to push for the feture to be removed from firefox or carry a local patch because I struggle to see how we are going to get a usable solution other than replacing mirrors with our own dedicated CDN.
