This bug happens because when we report deceptive site, the original website is closed.
However, the website calls `setTimeout` to change its `window.location.href` before `unload`, the network request to the report website is then canceled. The url is set to the new URL in the `settimeout` function.

This bug happens because when we report deceptive site, Firefox tries to close the original website and then switch the [reporting page](https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/).
However, the website calls `setTimeout` to change its `window.location.href` before unload (`onbeforeunload`), the network request to the reporting page is then canceled. The URL is set to the new URL in the `settimeout` function.
