One of my favourite sites (Music Electronics Forum) has just started being blocked by my Firefox browser as a 'reported attack site'. WTF?
I see in the Firefox preferences it is default set to 'block reported attack sites'.
When I click the 'why was this site blocked?" button I get this page.

So what is really going on here? Is Google now determining what I can and can't do with my web browsing under the implied threat of 'malicious software', or is to trying to protect me and my computer?

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

Well, should you decide google and firefox are out of their minds about this site, at least you can just click "ignore this warning". It's a tiny little clickable part in the bottom corner.
