McAfee frequently warns me that Firefox is trying to accept incoming connections from the Internet and asks me whether or not I want to allow or block this - what is this all about?

I cannot find any reference to this sort of activity by Firefox on your website. It is an '.exe' program location and McAfee warns me that "Hackers can use programs to steal your personal information or hijack your PC". Can you please confirm that these incoming connections are legitimate Firefox activity, and if so please explain what they are, why they are required by Firefox and why there appears to be no reference to this activity on your website. Many thanks.

Does McAfee state from which website the connection(s) come?

Hi Cor-el,

Thanks for your response.

No, unfortunately McAfee does not give any more detail as to the origin of these incoming connections - is there a way to find out from McAfee?

I would have thought that Mozilla Firefox should have the answers, but I have been unable to find any reference to this issue on their website, Help section etc.

Could it be the way my Options are configured? - although I've not changed them from the Default settings as far as I can remember.

Cheers,

GWhatsitworth.
