Are you using a firewall that can block internet access?

I finally bit the bullet and "updated" (from 3.6.23 for Mac) to 7.0.1. Now, every single page (and every blessed thing on the page) asks if I want to allow connections via this or that port. No sites, except designated ones where I need to be signed into, needs to access any port on my Mac.
On top of which, Google is now making me type in a captcha to continue after a couple searches. It "says" they've noticed unusual activity (all I've done is search for covers for various ebooks and cds). On top of which it shows a different IP address than my actual one.
I have my Mac firewall set to allow signed and show me as stealth (is THAT the reason for the weird IP addy?).
What the heck happened to just allowing, allow until close and blocking cookies? That link to using Terminal barely gives any info and the other is like "doh?" I'll give it another day or so, then I'm going back to 3.6.23 (Mozilla doesn't like it, but ALL FF versions are available if you Google/Bing for them) which is the last version that worked without a bunch of garbage. This is getting annoying.
