Trend, McAfee and VirusTotal all say it is fine. Why does Google give a scary message?

from https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=firefox.com :

Current status warning This site hosts files that are not commonly downloaded

The site firefox.com contains harmful content, including pages that: 

   Contain suspicious or unknown software

Hi, how are you getting that warning as I do not unless click on the link you provided.? As you say other virus sites find it clean.

Sometimes people with a axe to grind will report pages. Google will re-index and clear site of warning.
