Windows Security popup blocks user input
As WIN11 Pro administrator, using Firefox desktop 132.0.1, a popup saying "Windows Security - Do you want to allow public and private networks to access app? firefox.exe"
This popup blocked all user input except to click on the popup. That behavior is suspicious, so I used ctrl-alt-delete to close it - but no user input was allowed because the Task Manager was behind the modal full-screen popup. I manually shutdown (uncontrolled crash) rather than click on it. I suspect this popup is normal behavior, though I've never seen or heard of it before. Not all software plays fair after all. Nothing to report from perfmon.msc > reliability report. But we live in a software minefield, and I can't find record of anyone stepping on this mine before. If anyone has seen or heard of similar please make a comment. Thank you guys!

Windows security if from the OS not from Firefox how and what Windows does that is up to them to answer this question. Sounds like your Windows security is too restricted and you need to check those firewall settings to allow non-malware laden software to run properly.
