Is firefox Hello (v36.0) automatically opening a listening port when starting up? Is this a security risk?

After updating to firefox 36, windows firewall offered to block firefox. That usually happens when a program opens a port to accept INCOMING connections. Currently I have blocked it!
Is firefox opening a listening port and is that a security risk?
Have fun

Mozilla Firefox is very security conscious and privacy aware.
Some of the connections made are intended to increase security by ensuring everything is updated.

I am not certain if the Hello & social button do anything, but you can experiment with the settings mentioned in the above article, although generally it would be best if after any experiments you returned to the default settings.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • When I open firefox a new window automatically opens at the top left corner of windows. I can only close it through taskbar. I cannot maximize or move it.

    i think this problem startedafter some online installations . there is a black window appearing everytime i open it. I tried reinstalling firefox but i dint want to lose any of ma plugins so during reinstallation i kept ma plugins. And the problem still exists.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

    Hi,
    You don't have a problemI really have a problem, because this system works fine all day, but tomorrow I will need to shutdown the service and start up again, that is the problem. So I'm trying to get at the root cause and I think that is because the server was configured as dedicated (open 6 port for each connection).
    Sybrand, about the messages posted here (in the first post) what do you think? how can I avoid that? There are any parameter to set that close the connections once that the transaction or session ends?
    Hope you can help me.
    Regards.

  • Add and open a listening port for software

    Hi!
    I am a newbee at the whole Solaris OS and I am trying to install some software that requires a listening port to be open in order for the software services to run.
    Any suggestions would be GREAT!!
    And please keep in mind that this is my "first rodeo"

    I'm not sure what you are talking about.
    Usually software is the one, that opens ports in the OS.
    Maybe it requires to have an open port on your firewall?

  • How to make Firefox 8.0.1 load only the home page when starting?

    After upgrading to 8.0.1, I see two tabs being loaded when starting - my home page and this http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/central/. I dont find a setting to not load mozilla page.
    This happens only when the first instance of firefox is started. If I start another firefox, it loads only the home page tab.

    I think the tiny MySearchDial logo in the bottom left corner gives it away. That is one of your extensions. However, I believe it installs through the Windows Control Panel, so I suggest starting there.
    Open Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. I suggest clicking the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some free software you installed. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    In Firefox, open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that flush the page?

  • When I open Firefox, it is not automatically opening a network connection. I have to manually open the network connection before browsing. How do I get Firefox to automatically open the connection?

    I have to click on the network connections icon and ask it to refresh before Firefox makes the connection. This never happened with Explorer and I don't remember it happening the first few months with Firefox. Did I foul up my settings somehow? Or add plug-in or extension that is causing this?

    Every now and then, you should run these programs<BR><BR>
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

  • When I have multiple browser windows open - but in the "minimized" mode - and I want to open up one of them for viewing, ALL of the windows automatically open as well. How do I prevent this annoying function. I cannot find it anywhere in the options.

    This does not appear to be a system issue, but rather a functional aspect of the browser windows. E.g., if I have 7 browser windows open to different sites... and all are Minimized, and I decide to open one to study, THEY ALL POP OPEN automatically. I am using Firefox v3.6.8 on Windows 7. This is an annoying behavior of the browser, and I am sure it can be somehow "turned off" but cannot determine how to do that. I have looked through all options. I am not a techie, but have reasonable proficiency with software apps.

    This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
    Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
    You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

  • Firefox keeps asking me to open/download PHP file when it used to be able to display properly.

    I use to be able to view local PHP files normally in Firefox with the PHP parts not rendered while the HTML parts are. Now all it does is ask whether I want to open or save it.
    I've tried editing FF options so that it previews in FF but it doesn't accept any changes. I've cleared my cache and all that. I've tried deleting the mimeTypes.rdf file thing but I can't even find the folder it's in. I've tried disabling/enabling "prompts.tab_modal.enabled" in about:config and restarting FF.
    All are no-go solutions.
    Web PHP pages are loading properly, this problem only comes when I'm trying to load local PHP files. I don't want to install XAMPP or PHP on my computer just to view local files as I never had this problem before.
    In the meantime, I've installed Chrome and it's loading a simple local PHP file just fine whereas FF is asking me to save/download when opening the SAME file. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Yup, deleting mimeTypes.rdf and re-starting did the trick this time. Thanks very much!
    Also, on a somewhat related note, I cannot view mozillazine.org and any sub-domains under it in any browsers. This may be happening to other users as well?
    It's always stuck at "Waiting for ..." or "Connecting to ..." and that's it. Then FF gives up with a "Server connection time-out" notice. Clearing cache and all that doesn't work because I was trying to view those pages before starting this topic.

  • How do I get Firefox's home page to open a new tab when searching?

    I'm slightly modifying Firefox's about:home page, and I'm trying to get the home page to effectively be its own app tab. In order to do that, I need to make it so that when I search with it, it opens a new tab to view my search results.
    I've tried two things so far; I've tried adding the attribute '''target="_blank"''' to the '''<form>''' tag, and I've tried adding the attribute '''onclick="this.form.target='_blank';return true;"''' to the '''<input>''' tag nested inside of the '''<form>''' tag (I'm guessing the latter is JavaScript lol). I also tried an extension "TabSubmit" which didn't work here.
    I know how to edit the right page (I'm changing the contents of aboutHome.xhtml in omni.ja), and have already edited the stylesheet slightly (to underline links when hovering over them and adjusting the fading of Mozilla's logo when hovering over it). This is the next change I wanted to make.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    The about:home uses window.location.href = url; to change the location of the current tab.
    Changing this to window.open(url); and adding a line at the end of the aboutHome.js file to initialize localStorage works for me with a locally saved about:home page.
    <pre><nowiki>function onSearchSubmit(aEvent)
    let searchTerms = document.getElementById("searchText").value;
    if (gSearchEngine && searchTerms.length > 0) {
    const SEARCH_TOKENS = {
    "_searchTerms_": encodeURIComponent(searchTerms)
    let url = gSearchEngine.searchUrl;
    for (let key in SEARCH_TOKENS) {
    url = url.replace(key, SEARCH_TOKENS[key]);
    window.open(url);
    aEvent.preventDefault();
    localStorage["search-engine"]="{\"name\":\"Google\",\"searchUrl\":\"http://www.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms_&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a\"}";</nowiki></pre>

  • Is it possible to keep Firefox open after all windows have closed (and to additionally open a new window when starting another Firefox process)?

    Yes, yes, I know, it's not good to keep applications open when they aren't designed to be. I'm sure Firefox has some memory leaks and this is doing more harm than good, but...
    My computer isn't the greatest out there, and to increase the usability of my Firefox browser it would be nice to keep the firefox.exe process open, even after closing all windows. I know Firefox doesn't totally close if there is at least one Firefox-related window open, but having to open X popup window seems a bit extreme to get this effect.
    Additionally, to allow another window to be opened, it would be cool for the "OH NO FIREFOX IS STILL OPEN" prompts to be replaced with just attempting to open a new window, if this feature is enabled.
    So, if it exists already, is there a config variable for it, and if it doesn't exist, is it possible to perform somehow? I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty if it comes to it; I'd really like to get this happening.
    I'm running Windows 7 Home, if it matters. (I'd rather be running another OS, but this is neither the time nor place...)
