WHY IS FIREFOX BLOCKING MY SECURITY PROGRAM

I recently added eset security system to my desktop. I consistenly get the error message, eset is being blocked by firefox.

When Firefox discovers a new extension on your system, for example, a toolbar from your security software, Firefox shows a page asking for your approval to install it in Firefox. Is that not working?
If I misunderstood the kind of blocking you are experiencing, could you explain what is happening in more detail? You also can attach a screen shot to a reply, using the browse button below the text box. (This isn't possible with the original question.) This article has tips on creating a screen shot: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]

Why does Firefox block certain pages?

On many occasions, I click on a website and get a grey bar with a red x across the top of a blank page that says "Firefox won't allow page," or "Firefox has redirected this page," but nothing happens.
Why is Firefox blocking these pages and what can I do short of going to IE to stop it?

Why does Firefox start from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Updated\firefox.exe" after an update? Is there anyway to fix this besides rebooting PC?

hi, having an annoying problem after every time Firefox updates... It will launch from a nonexistent directory and cause my firewall/av to go crazy (ask to allow etc) which is very annoying.
Picture:

It seems like I have to reboot my PC to fix this crap... any alternatives?

That can be an issue caused by your security software.
When an update is downloaded the Firefox builds a new program folder for the new version in the Updated folder.
If Firefox isn't able to finish this process and move that directory to replace the current program folder then you can end up with problems like this.
What security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

Why is firefox blocking google

After installing Firefox at the recomendation from a person from minecraft, I went onto google with no problems, I then re-aranged my favorites/bookarked websites, set my homepage as google and then closed the browser. I then re-launched the browser and this started hapening: http://imgur.com/GO55EPU How do I fix?
I use bullgaurd antivirus

Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

Why is Firefox blocking Google Adsense?

Firefox is blocking Google Adsense, which is undesirable for me. The Addblock add-on is not installed. I have emptied my cache. Java is active. It is not a firewall issue. Ads appear normally in all other browsers. THIS IS A FIREFOX ISSUE.

Could you test in a new Firefox profile. In addition to bypassing current add-ons and custom settings, it should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder and no Google cookies.
Close Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager as described in [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles]. Any time you want to switch profiles, close Firefox and return to this dialog.
Notice any difference?

Why does Firefox remember Social Security numbers?

I do not think this is normal operation, so I am unsure if this is Firefox's fault or the website's fault. I was just doing something on Paypal.com and when it came time to fill in my social security number, it had "suggestions" pop up under the fields with my SSN that it remembered before. Things like SS# and credit card numbers should not be remembered like this because it's a major security issue for if someone else uses my computer.
I do not want to disable remembering fields entirely because that feature is useful to me. Names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, is all okay to be auto-filled in, but not something as extremely sensitive as SS#'s.
Again, sorry if this is Paypal's fault. I will be contacting them instead if it is.
Thank you for any information you can provide.

SSN's might get stored as part of '''form history''' and not recognized as such, depending upon how the Field Name of the on-page form is labeled. Clear your '''Form and Search History''' or don't save that data to begin with.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history
Or get in the habit of opening a New Private Window when confronted with the need to insert SSN's which might get saved in Form History.

Why is Firefox blocking install_flashplayer 16x32_mssa_aaa_aih(1).exe

I am getting messages that videos cannot be shown because I need flashplayer updated. When I try to install and run, I get the message that Firefox is blocking it. How do I get my videos back?

Your System Details list shows a rather old Shockwave Flash 11.8 r800 plugin.
You can uninstall the current Flash player version and (re)install the latest Flash version.
See this about uninstalling Flash players:

Note that this will remove all installed Flash players.
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page:

Why is firefox blocking my yahoo mail

Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading. I get this every time I go to BT Yahoo. I have tried different things but nothing works.

I should have asked about the shaking: is this from side to side or vertically? If it's vertical, perhaps your "smooth scrolling" is glitchy. Have you noticed any issues with scrolling? You could try turning off that feature here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General

Why does firefox keep blocking websites that I have gone to in the past

Why does firefox keep blocking websites I have gone to in the past?

<pre><blockquote>Why videos do not work for me?
You need Flash Player or DivX Player. Both of these programs are used everywhere online; their size is small and will not harm your computer. You should download them from here:

I have The latest Firefox installed on an older Dell, and the CA security suite thru my ISP, which takes all my CPU and causes everything to freeze when I try to access it's features. I need a free internet security program that does tax my system so much

Have older Dell Dimension 32/bit with Win XP Prof 2002. I have installed CA security suite from my ISP, which is a huge program and uses 100% of CPU on start-up & shut down, slowing everthing to a snails pace. I have removed evrything I don't need using 30 day free Revo Unistaller Pro, but when I try to access CA's Firewall to add programs to the exception rule, it will open, then freezes along with Firefox tabs and anything else. Can't even shut down from start menu. I want to get rid of CA(although it is a good program, it's too big), and go back to using my Win Firewall(or another better free firewall that's good for more than 30 days trial) and some other free internet security program that is easy, runs in the background and doesn't take all my resources and isn't just a 30 day free trial till you buy the program. I am also trying to install a wireless adapter so I can drop my ISP and use the free city/county signal as no work for 20 months!
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Trying to access CA security Suite Firewall

I am the original poster, and I got rid of CA Security Suite & and loaded the Avast! which has some great features even on the freeware. No more crashes or freezing & yes I think there is a problem with CA & Firefox, but am not sure what it is. CA was a big time hog. I also got rid of my ISP and installed a Intellinet Wireless G PCI Card & now am completely wireless on my PC. Faster by far than what I was paying $50/month for & I use my Windows Firewall.

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
HELP!!

Why does Firefox try to launch Adobe and/or Quicktime when I close Firefox? What is it loading into those programs?

When I shut down Firefox, it tries to start Either Adobe Reader, Quicktime, or both. It has done this ever since the first time I installed an used version 4. The applications do not actually launch, as in a window opening, but they are then present as a process in the system, and I have to close them from the Task Manager. It usually launches just one, but, if it's trying to launch one, and I use Task Manager to close it, it then launches the other. If I hurry and stop that one, Firefox reports that it messed up, and wants me to keep using the Internet for its own purposes that have nothing to do with what I was using the Internet for. This never happened under previous versions of Firefox. Do I need to revert to a previous version? I'm running Kaspersky Internet Security, and it shows I have no malware or the like on my computer, which could cause this. So, why is Firefox trying to do things I did not ask it to, and then expecting me to let it phone home to tell about it when I stop it. By the way, out of good practice, I often close down my Internet connection before closing Firefox, (in case I do get something like a Key Logger loaded, to prevent it from sending its final report before the cache is cleared), but this also happens when I have not yet closed my Internet connection before closing Firefox, so I do not think that is the issue, nor should it be. Your question below about when it happens does not provide for the answer "Every time Firefox Closes", so I picked the closest such answer.

This can be caused by clearing the cookies via [[Clear Recent History]]. 
* Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
You can try to exclude the cookies to test that. 
You can let all cookies expire when you close Firefox to remove unwanted cookies and keep the ones with an allow exception.
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"
If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the cookies when you close Firefox then Firefox also tries to clear the cookies from plugins like Flash and starts a plugin-container process for each plugin and possibly for each cookie (?) and that can add extra time if there are a lot of cookies to remove and also can cause an unresponsive script error to appear.

Why does Firefox continue to block all popups even tho I disabled popups?

Even though I have disabled FireFox pop-up blocker in Tools, Options, content FireFox blocks EVERY pop-up or site redirect.
The only other thing is that quit often I get an error message when I try to open FireFox. It works properly the second or third time.
Also blocks site when a site redirects to another site.

Do you have a firewall or other security software that can block pop-ups?
