NAT SPI router's firewall's are not so very difficult to defeat and they
functionally offer 0 protection the first time someone logs a laptop on
to your router. (which of course no one thinks of at the moment they
are logging on...)
Good Security is provided by layers of protection so that you don't
have a single failure point.
Unfortunately software ... like everything else in life ... screws up so
now and then.
So you have to deal with it / fix it.
As is apparently the case with this Zone Alarm / Firefox? issue...

Don't you have a router which provides you with a firewall? Hardware
firewalls are safer and more efficient. You only need a software firewall if
you are on a local network that has untrusted computers on it (e.g.
teenagers with PCs sharing your network with you).
