Do you mean "google" or "google4" in about:url-classifier? Both seem to
be available in FF55 and FF56. However, "google4" currently fails as
"cannot update" or "download error (400)" e.g.,

$ firefox -new-instance -profile $(mktemp -d) about:url-classifier
Safe Browsing server returned a 400 during update: request = https://safebrowsing.googleapis.com/v4/threatListUpdates:fetch?$ct=application/x-protobuf&key=<...>&$httpMethod=POST&$req=<...>;

The patch is just a workaround to avoid having to generate a temporary file.
The API key is in another file, see

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/Mk/bsd.gecko.mk?view=markup#l276

Does SafeBrowsing require defining MOZILLA_OFFICIAL during build which
would also enable Telemetry pings?

Our gecko@ team shares Google API key with chromium@ team. rene@ was the
one who originally obtained the key, so maybe he still has the project ID.

I can't really help with anything that requires a Google Account as
signing up for one doesn't work via Tor.
