In Fx2.0 the list is downloaded roughly every half hour; I'm not sure how big it is. I think this means that in everyday use of the web you’ll never come up against a phishing site that isn’t in the list because of lag.

Also, it is possible (if you go drilling down through the options) to set Firefox to do a live lookup to Google (or other anti-phishing list supplier). This of course does reduce your privacy, so it’s not enabled by default.
