ANYONE USE MOZILLA FOXFIRE AS BROWSER?

[ftncityfatboy]

Tried to log on to TGO just a minute ago using Mozilla (my everyday browser) and got an interesting message: "This site may harm your computer!!". Try as I may, the site was blocked and I could not connect. I switched over to IE and all is well. Anyone else had this issue? Mozilla says the site download malicious malware. Hum, not gun friendly???

[jtluttrell]

I had this issue earlier. I went to options and unchecked "block reported attack sites". Curious.

It's FireFox, not Foxfire... and there have been a couple threads on this that were locked already. It may have been an automatic update to FireFox that changed security settings. I started having the same problem right after an update. Uncheck as stated above, and it's ok. It would be nice to keep the attack warning capability for actual attack sites; don't know if that's doable.

Doing the same things for Chrome. Don't know how to stop it for it except it does allow you to check a box saying you're aware of the risk and then takes you there. Kind of a pain. IE working fine.

Yea, it is some kind of False positive.

I think someone has reported this site to a company that distrubutes lists of sites to black list, and once on those list Firefox and chrome just try to block based on the list not the content.

EDIT

actually I dug up the info, going to give it directly to the people the run this site.

I sent every thing I dig up on how to work toward correcting it to TGO David via PM.

I don't think so. My antivirus software alerted me when I logged onto TGO yesterday. It stopped some sort of malware from accessing my computer as the TGO site loaded.

Whatever the problem is, I hope it gets fixed soon. TGO is unviewable in my Firefox browser: I still get the "attack site" warning, and when I select to ignore it, TGO loads in a basic vertical format that makes viewing next to impossible. I am using IE to view TGO..........and I really hate using IE. I refuse to change my Firefox security settings, so I guess I will keep usind IE for only TGO. Did I mention that I hate using IE?

[Steelharp]

IE doesn't have a problem with it because IE is the traditional gateway for anything to get into your PC. It's always been so full of security holes, it's like swiss cheese.

My mozilla works perfect....fine....

[Guest TargetShooter84]

My safari is doing the same thing too on my mac.

Any advice on how to turn that off? Or should I just ride it out?

Yep. That is why I hate using it.

I noticed that the banner ads are gone, and I have not had any more alerts since then.

[Guest spoolie]

Use the "adblock" addition on the mozilla browser and you will have 0 problems..

Yeah, I have that on Firefox, but don't usually enable it since I like seeing the ads on TGO and supporting the local vendors and sponsors, but I might have to enable it if the problem isn't fixed. I still don't think that will fix the "attack site" warning that I am getting.

You probably haven't updated to 3.6.10 yet.

Firefox hasnt alerted on my laptop but did on my GF's today when I tried to log-in and Firefox refuses to allow me to log-in once it alerts.

[Guest Drewsett]

I hate to say it, but it seems like it was the new ads. One of them probably got hacked and caused the site to be put on alert with Google. I no longer get the warning from Norton when I use IE. The warnings from IE stopped as soon as the ads came down.

[Steelharp]

Well, fwiw, I just now tried it after checking the "Block reported attack sites" button, and I got the red warning screen, even without the banner ads. Went back in and unchecked it, and it's ok. So, yeah, we must be on a list now...

I'm sure TGO David is working to handle it. In the meantime either use IE to browse this site or turn off the block reported sites option in Firefox/Chrome.

We know that he is, as he can, and yes, that's the only workable solution for now. Add: it's not a Windows thing, because I use a MAC.

[Guest strelcevina]

I'm on my Android phone browser , and it doesn't show no warning .

On my pc every browser including IE 9 is showing warning. So I just don't won't to click allow to accept nothing on my Windows machine.

It is easily hacked . And zombiefied .

Will try to log in with Ubuntu in a hour or two .

[vontar]

Chrome and Firefox still have the reports.

It probably was the Ads causes it, however like I have said, once a site gets on the black lists it is harder to get removed.

[Guest strelcevina]

I'm on my Ubuntu Linux Machine. Chrome is giving me a Warning and Namroka "Firefox" is fine.

[Guest spoolie]

goto tools>options>security>and unclick block attack sites.

It started doing it on my HTC-EVO the other day and there is not away to change the settings to let me on the site.
