I couldn't find Browser.safebrowsing.remoteLookups in my about:config. Does it still apply?

upd: I am searching for it in the Firefox sources now. Just for curiosity: there are 117512 files in 8610 directories totaling 743 MB, and search in files is really slow even on SSD.


browser.safebrowsing.remoteLookups works indeed, I could confirm this using Fiddler. For some reason, Notepad++ couldn't find a mention of 'remoteLookups' in sources.

A key that's not in the config file uses the defaults. You can just add the key by going into about:config , right clicking anywhere in the list, and choosing New, and in this case, boolean, and set it to false.
