user should be asked before safebrowsing will be enabled

[Oleksij Rempel]

With firefox-3 new safebrowsing is enabled by default.
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.safebrowsing.enabled

This option need some remote server to check the web page if it's ok:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.safebrowsing.remoteLookups
by default it's google

see: about:config

I think user should be warned before he will be "protected" on cost of his privacy. Something like thirst start message "Warning you will be "protected"!!!"
And I do not think it is a nice idea to report every page i'm wisiting to google.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

[Oleksij Rempel (olerem)]

yes, it is.
