Bug Description

When firefox is saving a page after restarting with a previously saved session, it starts making connections to the safebrowsing servers even though browser.safebrowsing.enabled is false in preferences. It seems to happen every time a page is saved.

This is happening in firefox 20.0. This did not happen in previous versions of firefox.
