Mozilla fire fox still doesnt work when webshield is on
The fire wall is McAfee, but it doesnt matter whether it is on or off
avast is 4.6 refreshed!
The os is win xp home sp1 ram 1go radeon 9200
once I turn webshield on, I get a dialog box on the firefox homepage that says: “document contains no data” and it is impossible to go further on…
When webshield is off, it works fine
I checked everywhere I could, but nothing special to report about

Make sure your browser is not set to “Work Offline” (this option is generally in the File menu). If it doesn’t help, try switching the proxy settings from “Auto-detect” to “No proxy” (I’m assuming you’re not connecting to the Internet via proxy).
Left click the avast icon > Settings
Update (Basic) > Details > Proxy
Set Firefox to use no proxy at all to see what you get…

I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it. It s still the same prob
By the way, I dowloaded thunderbird which is super to my taste, but it didn t make any change to my prob (which is normal)
Are you using a proxy?
Any other security (related) software installed?
Does it work if you use IE?
Does it work if the McAfee firewall is removed?
What happens if you setup FireFox manually to use the webshield as instructed in the help file for Windows 9.x systems?
Are you using a proxy? >>> no Connected to AOL ADSL
Any other security (related) software installed? >> no except mcafee
Does it work if you use IE? >> cannot to get it at work!
Does it work if the McAfee firewall is removed? >> no it doesnt make any change
What happens if you setup FireFox manually to use the webshield as instructed in the help file for Windows 9.x systems? >> I have win XP Home
concerning the above mentioned prob:
I currently use 2 hdd’s with my comp, sometimes #1 and some other times #2. One is equipped with win xp home + sp1 and the other is equipped with win xp home + sp2
I also have a laptop equipped with win xp home + sp2
On all of them I installed avast 4.6 and firefox 1.0
The above prob only is on the one where there is SP1!!
I just started having this exact same problem a couple days ago.
When webshield is on I get the “Document contains no data” message in IE or Firefox.
When I turn webshield off I can surf just fine.
