I get several emails a day from a website I know is trustworthy, and smart screen filter flashes this annoying red warning box at me and I have to manually click this every time I get an email from this site, I've added them to my Safe Senders List and stupid Microsoft is still overriding my choice to ignore any risk. How can I disable this on my email? I use Firefox and the only tutorials/how-tos I have found were for Internet Explorer. Thanks a bunch!
