Firefox issues

If you use McAfee Internet Security in your computer then you know how annoying it can get when it consistently blocks even harmless applications from the internet. There are cases where the browser gets barred this way, most especially Mozilla Firefox. To configure McAfee Internet Security and enable Mozilla Firefox to connect to the internet, you can either choose to call our Mozilla Firefox support team or make the following changes.

·       Click on the Start menu button, normally situated in the bottom left corner of your screen. When the Start menu pops up, click on Programs/All Programs.

·       Locate McAfee from the list of installed application and click on it. An alternative method to accessing the McAfee window would be to double-click on the McAfee icon which you’ll find in the system tray.
