One of the things you could try is to turn off the phishing filters in Tools->Options->Security and turn off the "Tell me if the site I am visiting is a suspected forgery" or change the options below it.

Browse All TopicsI'm the IT manager for a company of about 35 users. We use Folder Redirection (group policy on Win2003 Servers) for users My Docs, App Data, and Desktop.
I recently noticed space getting eaten up at a rapid pace so I started investigating and found the culprit to be HUGE SQLite files in a few users Firefox profile folders.
I have already deleted them, but I wanted to post this here so people could help me figure out why it's happening.
The two files were SEARCH.SQLITE and URLCLASSIFIER2.SQLITE.
This only occurred with 4 of my users...no one else seemed to be affected. On two of the profiles the search.sqlite file was huge, and the on the other two profiles, the urlclassifier2.sqlite file was huge.
When I say huge I mean hundreds of Gigs. The four files I deleted were a total of 1.4 Terabytes! The files were about 600gb, 300gb, 300gb, and 200gb.
Like I said, I just simply deleted them but wanted to post this here to begin a discussion about it because I didn't find ANY info on this subject on Google.

I noticed this https://bugzilla.mozilla.o
It sounds like they may have it fixed for Firefox 3, though. And, you might want to make sure you are up to date on the latest version anyway.
This isn't exactly a solution, but I just ended up deleting the files & they haven't come back yet...also no one else has added to this topic saying that they had the same issue, so we'll just say the solution is to delete the files. The links above from mtz1of4 give good info as to what the files are.

Actually, the search.sqlite file has Information about the Search Plug-ins that that user has installed. Urlclassif ier2.sqlit e <<< lots of good info there.
And the urlclassifier2.sqlite holds the info about the known Phishing Sites.

So, chances are they used quite a few custom Search Plug-ins, although my search.sqlite is only 8 kb. And my urlclassifier2.sqlite is only 4.62 MB.
1.4 Terabytes!?!?!? Sounds like it can't update itself, but keeps adding to it.
