I think in FF1 and FF2 it would periodically download a list of "bad" URLs (FF1) or a list of hashes of bad domain names (FF1 and FF2) and check the local list for hits. In FF3 I believe the phishing filter submits every site to google as you browse, in real time. It may download the list, too. I'm not entirely sure. Disable "Block reported web forgeries" and "Block reported attack sites" in Firefo if you'd rather not (potentially) tell Google about every URL you ever visit. The host sb.google.com contains the lists.
