Safe Browsing is broken in 2.40. If you have the lists in your profile they are no longer updated. In a new profile they are not even created. This is fixed in 2.44 and will be fully working again in 2.45. L10N changes were needed which usually can't be ported back.
Check bug 1250600: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1250600 Even this might not have helped here if it was a new phishing site. It only works for sites which have been reported previously and I have no cluse how fast google updates them. On Wed, 22 Jun 2016 16:14:30 -0700, David E.
