Windows Vista Firewall turns off when opening Firefox
Hey guys, I'm not sure if it's been asked before so I apologies in advanced. I'm running Vista on a laptop and have had a couple problems with my firewall turning off whenever I open Mozilla Firefox. I do have Norton Internet Security, however it does not have its firewall turned on. It does this everytime I turn it on and go online. I did have AVG as an additional anti-virus program but uninstalled it after I acquired Norton. So in short the problem is: 1) I open Firefox and Windows Security tells me that "No firewall is turned on" (and yes I have checked that it is turned on) 2) After fumbling around online, I close Firefox and the firewall message disappears. 3) This problem does not occur when using Internet Explorer, however, nothing against Microsoft, I don't wish to use IE Has anybody run into this or know how I can fix this. Thanks.
