McAfee FW v8.5 patch2 and Firefox 1.5

All, I have never had any issues with McAfee's Enterprise firewall, until recently,
This just started happening after Firefox did it's auto update. I do have the application monitoring on, so it is normal for me to see the file changed and trying to access the internet, but now everytime I go to a webpage, even at the same site, McAfee warns me about a file being changed and trying to access the internet. Each popup seems to be a different port but when I view the tcp/udp connections with Sysinternals TCP View it only has a few that match, seems as though they are not realy connecting.

Is this a new "feature" of Firefox to utilize many different ports for a speed increase or maybe it is checking for updates constantly?
Again this only started happening after the update everything was fine before hand.

Just trying to see if anyone else is experiencing it.

 

Ok as a follow up I quickly took some screen caps to try to help explain.
Also disabling the updates feature didn't help

Note the Message below and then notice the port mentioned is closed about 3 seconds later in the second pic.

Sounds like it may not be remembering the file change approval. Have you tried removing your Firefox rule(s) and let it start from scratch again?

Thanks CrazyM, I can't believe that I didn't think of that one yet. !DOH!

Well it did fix it, but I wonder why it wasn't remembering the rule.

And I wonder if it is going to happen for every update of FireFox. Hope not though.

 

Similar problem here.

It happend after I installed the eMule 0.47a on my computer without uninstalling the old one (eMule 0.46c).

After I deleted the old rules and created new ones, the problems were gone.

(sorry for my poor english )
