Is that it doesn't clearly identify that it is Firefox that has blocked a dodgy website.

So Firefox users that opt-in to Phorming because they think it is an anti-phishing system are quite likely to give Phorm credit when Firefox blocks a phishing site.

 That's a point. You might want to raise it with the firefox team.

 Opera, with its built in anti-phishing, brings up a nice warning for the second link (but not the first) which is clearly labelled as coming via Opera and mentions Haute Secure (their anti-phishing parter) so in that case there is no confusion. And to rub it in, you don't need to 'install' anything to get the protection, it comes built in with Opera and enabled by default.
