I'm thinking something may have changed since the first releases of FF3
Early reports were that the Malware Database was about 52MB fairly consistently.
In my using of FFP3.0.5 I am seeing , and others are reporting, much less. About 17-18 MB when both "attack sites" and "forgery" are selected .
tool->options->security 2nd and 3rd check boxes
Could folks who have those setting on give some feed back.
Something may have changed, and if so we should know.
It would be good news if they have found a way to make it smaller

I found the options in the security tab but cannot locate the file to see its size. Can you direct to where one could find it.

Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
Ok mine is 54,908 KB with both options selected.
There is also a urlclassifier2.sqlite that is 2,912 KB.

I am willing to guess that the urlclassifier2 is a remnant of an upgrade from FF2 to FF3, but that is just a guess.
But 54MB for the urlclassifier3 would make sense if there was no major change in the way things work, so why are some of us not getting it.
Thanks for the feedback,
Anyone else ?

and mine is at 53.1 mb. with the cursor hovering on it, but displaying 54.4 in the visible line under the name. I guess the size varies and 54.4 is the maximum that file size has been thus far?
