Google is using the the "Block reported attack sites" and "Block reported web forgeries" to leave a zombie cookie. This setting is under Menu/Preferences/Security. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies/reviews/676076/

Could the developers please use some other service besides google to perform this function? I want to block these issues but I don't trust google. What has google done for firefox anyway?

hello, the cookie that google sends when updating the safebrowsing list is sandboxed and seperated from all other cookies, so i cannot be used to track you during webbrowsing. for details see bug 897516...

If you discover anyone else offering reputation data that Mozilla could use, I'm sure someone would look into it. But I think Microsoft and the security companies might not be inclined to offer theirs for free...
