Started this morning. All of my personal tools like nextcloud and RSS reader were blocked, and I had to go manually override that screen for each one. Unacceptable.

Looks like Google is the responsible one, not Firefox. Don't shoot the messenger.

Why does Firefox need to tell Google which sites you're visiting even if you don't use Google Search ?

All checking is done locally on your machine from a hashed list of "bad" domains, your visits aren't sent to google. You can get the full details here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-phishing-and-malware-protection-work
