I want to make sure that the phishing database is up to date, because my firewall or sandbox might be blocking it.

Go to your profile (type about:support into your address bar, and then click on the Show location button next to "Profile Folder"). Then look for urlclassifier3.sqlite. If it has been modified within the last 24-48 hours or so, then you've got the most up to date list.

Thanks. Do you know here the FIrefox database comes from? Is there a website?

Firefox uses Google's Safe browsing database. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/firefox2/
