Phishing/Attack Security opts make Google Adsense/Adwords almost unusable

Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

In the Edit | Preferences | Security page if you enable:

Tell me if the site I'm visiting is a suspected attack site, and
Tell me if the site I'm visiting is a suspected forgery

Then using google adsense (most pages) and adwords (at least the login page) webpages becomes almost impossible without closing the browser and restarting firefox 3. Often there is no data returned at all in the middle of the site.

I'm reporting this as a firefox bug because a) it only started happening after I installed Hardy and b) it only happens with those two options selected.

Here's my about string if that is any help: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041514 Firefox/3.0b5
