Hi,

The Firefox installer grants firewall permissions to Firefox.exe by adding it in the registy to

HLKM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List

This is probably needed for incoming connections to hello, for push notifications to service workers, and maybe for some more of the new gimmicks that keep being added. These are just the ones that immediately come to my mind.

Some enterprise users might want to have a look at this, any maybe remove it. I think that a web browser should be a client, not a server.

Does anybody know which other functionality might break when this is removed?

regards,
Klaus
