Certainly a duplicate of one of these bugs: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654502 Could you attach some messages in order to understand what is the problem exactly?
This is most frequently caused by the link pointing to a different address than it says in the text shown for the link. To be conclusive, we would need to see both the link itself along with the text on top of it (i.e., using Ctrl+U to see the message source, then paste the full <a href=...>...</a> part of the HTML link). As discussed in other bug reports, either allowing the user to keep a local white list of acceptable link/text combinations or a global phishing list could resolve the issue, neither of which is currently implemented but covered by other bugs.
