How can I get rid of that ?
I don't want my browser to call google servers, nor do I want allow
google to decide what's malware and what's not.
This and other queries like it are best asked and answered on
https://support.mozilla.org/ . Furthermore, just like with your
next-most-recent posts (about nsString and printf, and about CIDs), the
answer is already documented and easily found using a web search:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=turn+off+firefox+safebrowsing&t=hb&ia=web
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mozilla+nsstring+printf&t=hb&ia=web
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cid+xpcom&t=hb&ia=qa
The first page of results for all these queries all have several
reasonable answers to them. Please use resources like web search, MDN or
support.mozilla.org first, instead of posting here.
I also believe your reflexive responses along the line of "how can I get
a version of Firefox that doesn't have X" for every X (you don't like)
that happens to come up in this group are unproductive. Presumably you
know that we have pretty decent code search tools at
https://dxr.mozilla.org/ and http://searchfox.org/, which can help you
answer questions like "where does this code live", "what prefs govern
it" and "is there a build option to not include it".
The answer to that last question is almost invariably "no". There are
usually prefs while features are being developed, but those will
frequently get removed when features are mature enough that we don't
think turning them off is web-compatible. Firefox and Gecko are
explicitly *not* aiming to have 42,000 build-time defines to remove
every conceivable feature that someone might not want. It's already been
established in previous threads that for your usecase (where you want to
not build lots of features), you basically need to fork Gecko. It helps
nobody to revisit that same subject whenever a feature you don't like
comes up, and effectively derails the relevant threads announcing
features or feature updates. Please stop doing that.
