• Vista firewall and network settings

  Greetings,

  Running Vista Ultimate OS and for the McAfee Security Center security system, providing the Dell system.  Security Center is a brand product (McAfee) Dell.  It includes a firewall.  It is generally not recommended to run two firewalls at the same time on the same system.  In this case, my preference is to disable the Windows Vista firewall and manage only the McAfee Security Center Firewall.

  However, by doing so, effects of undesirable changes in the Windows Vista network configuration.  Specifically, disable the Vista Firewall automatically turns on the discovery network and file sharing in the network settings of Vista, which is not desired.

  The question:

  What is the solution to run Windows Vista with the firewall (Vista) integrated offshore, the McAfee Security Center Firewall and discovery network and settings (network) off the coast of file sharing?

  By the way, my troubleshooting on this has included disable McAfee Firewall to determine if she could be causing a conflict with the firewall and Windows network settings.  Apparently not, because even with McAfee firewall off it is still not possible to disable the Windows Firewall (in this case, No firewall is running) without network discovery and sharing settings being switched automatically on files.

  Again, the goal is to run the McAfee Firewall with the network discovery and parameters (network) off the coast of file sharing and Windows Vista firewall off the coast.

  Thank you-

  Network discovery is enabled or disabled in vista network and sharing Center by activating or deactivating vista firewall rules. You can maybe re-create these rules in the McAfee Firewall, although they will be not be enabled / disabled from the network sharing Center. The following site will show how to display vista firewall rules:
  http://NPR.Freei.me
  Are you sure there is no setting in McAfee to block the sharing of files and network discovery?

  Note: the rules for sharing printers and files, and network discovery are clearly identified in the vista firewall.

• I can't allow an application through firewall - and security settings have been changed, but not by me!

  I can't download anything Mozilla Firefox - Finally I worked on that I need to change the settings of the firewall, and when I went in firewall, I found that all downloads of Mozilla entrants are blocked on the firewall. This was not the case yesterday and I'm not sure what the computer has done to cause this. I tried to click on the button for me to allow through the firewall, but it doesn't work - and I am the administrator and the only user of this computer. I can not get internet explore or google chrome to work so I'm stuck. I tried troubleshooting but nothing that requires an application to download does not work. It comes back with an error telling me my internet security settings do not allow me to download - but then it only allows me to change the security settings. Need help please, I really need my computer!

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your concern here at Microsoft Community.

  If you have changed some Windows Firewall settings and you want to cancel your changes, you can restore the firewall settings to the original (default) settings.

  1. Open Windows Firewall by pressing the Windows key + X , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall.
  2. In the left pane, click restore defaults. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  3. In the dialog box that appears, click restore defaults. At the confirmation prompt, click Yes.

• ThinApp Internet Explorer 9 and proxy settings

  Hello

  I was wondering if anyone can help, I've managed to thinapp IE9 with ThinApp 4.7, before making the final capture I change settings for IE9 to our proxy etc. When I spread IE9 on any office of vdi in connection settings, the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" option is checked for a reason, but our proxy server, the settings are still there, we plan to broadcast this on a number of people if it is not really an option for this check manually for everyone. No idea why this might happen? Once checked, she remembers the setting. We have IE9 locally on some portable computers and the same problem does not occur, so I guess this isn't some GPO settings.

  Kind regards

  Ross

  Ross,

  The Internet Explorer proxy settings passes under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections registry key

  1. this line is excluded from the package in snapshot.ini file (snapshot.ini is present in the same capture.exe installation location). Could you remove the snapshot.ini line and resume the application? When the line is removed from the snapshot.ini, changes to the registry under this key will be captured and stored in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.txt file.

  2. or you can try adding registry changes manually in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.txt file to select the check box and rebuild the ThinApp. Please Google for registry values to select the check box.

• Site ads continue to use the proxy settings and I get the message "Authentication required" time and time again. I have stop advertisements to use my proxy settings?

  I have put my school proxy settings and use them very often. On some Web sites, ads continue to use these proxy settings (probably to show me ads based on my preferences or I don't know), and I get the message "Authentication required" time and time again before the end of the loading page. It's annoying because if I have several tabs open and am currently on another page while loading the website with the ads, I'm brought back to this page to authenticate. Can I get asked 3 times to authenticate while this page loads, and it takes forever to load because of this. I don't want to disable my proxy settings because I use it very often. I tried to uncheck the "Accept cookies from Web sites" and nothing happens, it's always the same. I want these ads to stop going through my proxy settings. How do I do that?

  Hello

  You can try the add-on Adblock Plus . In addition to subscriptions, you can manually add URL patterns or click on an ad to add a filter.

• My firefox comes himself to update to the latest version and now all I get is "unable to connect" which is odd since IE and chrome can connect very well. Any ideas? I already checked the btw proxy settings and is not the issue

  What is happening on each test AES sit not just select those and they are fine as all workers is my connection in IE and chrome and it was very good 2 seconds before the update

  One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• SKYPE CANNOT CONNECT EVEN IF I CHANGED THE PORT SETTINGS AND THE SETTINGS OF THE FIREWALL

  Hello community!

  I have a problem with the Skype program. As I said in the title I can not connect (error: unable to connect Skype) even though I followed all the steps to allow Skype to my firewall and allow ports connect. This is the latest version and I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled for more than 10 times. I don't know what to do anymore.

  Thanks in advance for your attention to this issue.

  (Latest version of Skype works on Windows 7)

  6.11 is an older version of Skype. All Skype versions prior to 6.14 are now retired, which means you can't use your version 6.11. The currently latest version of Skype is 6.20. You must update your Skype.

• Proxy settings no longer work with v32.0.3

  The Manual proxy settings no longer work for me with the version of Windows 32-bit v32.0.3. I tried to disable all add-ons, reset everything and then reinstalling.

  Anything else I can try?

  Thank you very much for the help. My firewall on the Mac affected absented before and after the updates. So play with the firewall settings did not help.

  I tried again to move around with the Add-ons. DoNotTrackMe (v.4.0.1249) disabling corrects the problem. Enabling it again brings back the question.

• How can I configure proxy system Linux Debian for Firefox uses for example when "Use System Proxy settings" is selected in the preferences of Firefox?

  I want to be able to change the proxy settings without having to go through Firefox' tedious settings menu. Chrome allows me to define a proxy as a command line option, or you can also set an environment variable would be ok for me. In its options, FF offers to the "Auto-detect" proxy settings, and also, Alternatively, of "Using the system" proxy settings, but I can't find any documentation to tell me what he's looking for in both cases, how to set the system proxy settings or what the difference between these two options apparently similar. Currently I do Menu-> Preferences-> advanced-> network, and then type the details of proxy, which takes too much time!
  Thank you.

  CAP file is an option. However, the documentation of the difference between these options can be found here

• I uninstalled an add-on, but it continues to reset my Manual proxy settings whenever I run, causing firefox to not connect to internet.

  I recently installed an add-on (ZenMate) which subsequently I uninstalled because it's buggy. I never open it.

  It is supported my proxy settings. When I launch FF, it now says "The Proxy Server is refusing relationship» I go into my network settings and notice that he selected the automatic configuration of the proxy, with a link to some zenmate garbage. So I reset it to no proxy and voila! Problem solved. Except that this isn't the case. Out of FF, and then run again, it restores every time of automatic proxy garbage.

  Can someone please help?

  Thank you!

  Could check you something: just before the release of Firefox, make a backup copy of the file prefs.js, which must have the own proxy setting ('no proxy'). Then we will compare after his stop.

  Here's how:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Scroll down the list and create a copy of prefs.js as follows: click right prefs.js > copy and then immediately right-click in an empty area of the margin > paste. In a few moments, prefs - Copy.js must appear in your profile folder.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then repeat them process previous and windows should create a second copy. Right-click the second copy > Edition and Windows should start the file in Notepad. This can take some time if you have accumulated a lot of custom settings. If you are looking for proxy.type is that he always set to No proxy as it is during your session:

  user_pref("network.proxy.type", 0);
  

  If it has been changed:

  • Change it to 0, as shown in the previous line and save the file.
  • Launch Firefox back up again and see if it works.

  If it still shows 0:

  Before starting Firefox, confirm that this user.js has been recreated in this folder.

• Refresh wiped out all the bookmark and browser settings

  Firefox suggested I do a Refresh to speed up the browser etc. I did it and everything has been wiped out. Firefox logo appears in the start bar but when I click on it see no firefox browser, totally empty tabs. All the bookmarks wiped out all three browsers I use: Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. I'm totally in trouble.

  When you reset Firefox and a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, data form) are automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved on the desktop to a folder "Old data Firefox".
  Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made are lost and must be redone.

  It is possible to retrieve the data from the old profile, but be careful not to copy the files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

  Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  • Download the full Firefox installation program and save the file to the desktop
    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

  If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

  It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and allow your firewall to ask permission to get access full and unrestricted, again to install for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• Recognizing the proxy settings

  My Firefox just stopped recognizing my proxy settings. No matter even if I have settings in the fields or not... I can it be set to manual and let the proxy field and the port field empty and is always connected to the internet. I put the proxy settings in Internet Explorer and Chrome and they work properly... any suggestions?

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
