Hi,

as from today, in the currently latest firefox version 40, one link on my website has been reported to be "attacking". The links is this: "http://m2bob-forum.net/index.php/Thread/29160-P-Server-compatibility-thread/" It only contains some text and not even any links to other websites. Other topics on my forum are not blocked, for example "http://m2bob-forum.net/index.php/Thread/29160-P-Server-compatibility-thread/", and google does not classify this site as attacked either. So the bug is 100% firefox's fault.

Please help me to solve the problem. Thank you!

On the warning page, I see "Reported Unwanted Software Page!" which is an interesting description.

Firefox's list of problem URLs is updated from the source (Google) fairly frequently; my timestamps changed in the 20 minutes I was researching this. To see the timestamps, you can open:

C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\your.profile\safebrowsing

As for what triggered it on that page, I have no idea. I couldn't find a specific explanation for how it would get on the list (i.e., a human submitted it vs. an automated crawler tagged it), or why Firefox might mismatch the domain.
