The Safe Browsing application reputation server now supports a lot more extensions: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/chrome/common/safe_browsing/download_protection_util.cc&l=189

Priority: -- → P2
Attached file download_file_types.pb
The new list of file types that Chrome uses (updated via a Chrome extension) is in protobuf format.
Depends on: 1291472
This is the source for the upstream list: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/chrome/browser/resources/safe_browsing/download_file_types.asciipb
Component: Downloads API → Safe Browsing
Priority: P2 → P3
I have a cronjob monitoring this file and notifying me whenever it changes.

Given the low rate of changes, I think we can get away with updating this list once per Firefox release. We can revisit later if it turns out we need to have a way to ship updates more frequently.
