Firefox Beta 36 asks to set Firewall settings on startup every time
Beta 36 for Firefox starting a few days ago asks to add an exception to the OSX firewall on startup each time. Even if I accept, and enter my admin credentials. Also if I add Firefox in the Firewall settings permanent. It never asked me before the latest beta.
I am using 10.10.2

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}
- Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).

Thanks for the reply but it is fixed now with a new version, beta 37.0
The previous Firefox version did not resolve even after I removed and then added Firefox again to the Firewall exception list.

Another Firefox Beta and same problem, on launch OSX 10.10.2 asks if I want to accept incoming connections form the firewall. Even though I have added it to the list in the Security preferences. Anyone else??
