Can I _please_ get information why there's spyware like this in Firefox?

Looks like you have enabled the phishing protection using external
blacklists like Google.
If you don't have it might be a bug.

Added by SUSE?

Why would you think that?
SUSE is not getting money from Google while the Mozilla Corporation
does. (What doesn't mean that's the reason for the option)
