We have a problem with an internal application that doesn't work correctly when the two security options of block reported attack sites and block reported web forgeries are ticked. We do not want to simply disable these settings as we see their value. My question is where does Firefox go to check the db of these reported sites. I would like to open up access to those destination so this will no longer be a problem

Thanks Cor-el. I have now allowed that site directly out, but I'm still having the same issue. Does this only try and do this on port 80?

Hi Andrew,

How did you allow that site directly out?

Did you find a solution to this problem?

Thanks,

Andrew
