Why does Firefox call Google during startup? Why is this an error?

I've included 2 other startup errors FYI, involving the NoSquint & Ghostery addons.

OK, WTF is going on with the allowable size of a post? What I posted -- twice - is well under the limit, last I ran up against it. And I didn't get any warning about too long a post.

Article doesn't point me to an alphabetical list of sites FF might call.

Is this call by FF, or by an AddOn ? Which AddOn? There ought to be a built-in, simple way for me to find out.

WHY is it being called?

And of course, why is it generating an error?

safebrowsing is google's anti-phishing and anti-malware list.

Aha. So why is it being cancelled & throwing an error? Malware preventing the call that would flag it?

When you download an application file, Firefox will verify the signature. If it is signed, Firefox then compares the signature with a list of known safe publishers. For files that are not identified by the lists as “safe” (allowed) or as “malware” (blocked), Firefox asks Google’s Safe Browsing service if the software is safe by sending it some of the download’s metadata.
