FF 3 "Security Zone Policy"?

Anyone figured this out yet? I can update programs via the programs themselves, but cannot update through this new browser (webpages, including here @ MG's).

VERY frustrating as my SpywareBlaster (Javacool) has a new version that I can only get through a webpage.

Also cannot get my FF Add-On's to work ... at all.

 

Also before you install SpywareBlaster, follow the directions to disable all protection, close the program and use the add/remove program icon in control panel to uninstall it before installing the new version.

 

Hi Halo - sorry about the mis-communication.

What I meant was; IF I were able to "get" (download) the new version of SpywareBlaster, it would/could only be done through a webpage (site) - not (currently) through the user interface on my PC.

I will follow your instructs. on the remainder - thank you.

And plodr, thank you too very much.

What firewall are you using? Remember FF3 is a new program as far as your firewall in concerned. It might be blocking downloads to protect you.

 

Not using the FW that I'd like to, but rather the Vista OS FW - but this is an Excellent point, but I'm not sure how to let things through it as I was with Zone Alarm??

I'll go immediately to it though and try ...

~*UPDATE*~ ok, I have six (6) things there

1. Firefox
2. Lexmark Communications System (which is my "new-to-me" printer ... that won't work!)
3. Windows Media Player (which I think I could lose!)
4. Yahoo FT Server (File Transfer???)
5. Yahoo Messenger (which I almost never use)
6. Yahoo Music JukeBox (which I am certain I can do better than)

I did recently uncheck "Core Networking" thinking that I didn't need it ... could THAT be my problem?

Thanks ... ~*UPDATE II*~ - nope, not Core Networking ... unless I need to restart after re-enabling it?

 

L-o-n-g loud sigh ...

Well, in my infinite wIsDoM, seems I had things set-up differently in different User Accounts. I have four (4 ... long story ...), two of which I typically frequent/use.

Now, one of those two, which I referred to as my "Admin" (though later learned here at MG's, was "not really" an admin account?) I thought I had more securely configured, arranged, set-up - whatever. Since I had been having trouble recently, I had switched-over to that account, which I thought might provide me a better chance at diagnosing, tweaking, and keeping secure whilst online. Wrong again. I've been able to straighten some things out by going back-over to the main user that I had been using to access the internet, perform most downloads (virtually all of them), etc.

I really have to figure-out the whole "UAC" and "Permissions" thing(s). It seems like a fundamental/foundational type of thing that is really holding me back from learning some of these other things ...

Thanks as always! :major
