G’day all,

Did you have any problem with Firefox v7.0.1 using the website called Shields UP! when testing the “Common Ports” section, and it seem that FF doesn’t seen to support the test and it didn’t finished the Common Ports test when using the Outpost Firewall could someone please test it for me for those who have FF v7.0.1

Thank you.

I wouldn’t have though the browser would have anything to impact on how it works, more what security based add-ons or security settings you have in firefox 7.0.1.

I just tried it and no problems at all. Since I also have Outpost, I would say there is something in your settings.

My add-ons are:

  1. Adblock Plus v1.3.10
  2. Add-on Compatibility Reporter v0.9.2
  3. BetterPrivacy v1.67
  4. Brief v1.5.4
  5. BrowserProtect v1.1.3
  6. Certificate Patrol v2.0.12
  7. Dictionary Switcher v1.3.1
  8. Dictionary Tooltip v1.7
  9. Dr.Web anti-virus link checker v1.0.23
  10. Download Statusbar v0.9.8
  11. English (Australian) Dictionary v2.1.2
  12. EPUBReader v1.4.1.0
  13. Ghostery v2.6.0.1
  14. Java Console v6.0.27
  15. Java Quick Starter v1.0
  16. NoScript v2.1.4
  17. OptimizeGoogle v0.78.2
  18. SkipScreen v0.6.1.2
  19. SSLGuard v1.0.4
  20. TrafficLight v0.1.22
  21. WOT v20110704

Security settings I have in firefox 7.0.1 see attachment and my Outpost FW settings are all set to default nothing has change when I was using FF v7.0 and I had no problem using Shields UP!

Your firefox security settings are the same as mine.

I would try disabling better privacy or if it has an option to whitelist shields up.
I had nothing but problems with Ghostery and removed that many months ago.
I don’t know how SSL Guard works or if shields up actually used https at any point.
I also don’t know what BrowserProtect does.

What you could try is running firefox safe mode, no add-ons and see if that gets through.

Okay I’ll give it a shot in safe mode and see if I can get through

6

Nothing still have the same problem darn! :-\ I’ll try again using FF v7.0

7

WOW :o I’ve never this this before from Shields UP! see attachment any ideas

8

I can’t recall ever having seen this and I don’t know why even in firefox safe mode it doesn’t work. I don’t know if you have changed any of your refresh settings.

Isn’t there an F.A.Q. on shields up for errors like this ?

Solved I had a major backup error from MozBackup when I restore all my entire backup when over written to FF v7.0.1, and I had to restart from scratch loading all my add-ons

10

I hate mysteries too, glad that you found it.

11

MozBackup v1.5.1 wasn’t compatible with FF v7.0.1 for backup and restore and MozBackup website still showing the old version, so keep this in mind when using the latest FF version.

12

I don’t backup firefox using MozBackup v1.5.1, I use FEBE to do backups, plus my weekly drive imaging software backup.

Thanks David I’ll check this out as I never heard of this :wink:
