Jdownloader2 and Firefox issues

Hello!

Approx. an one month ago I have faced with the strange bug or what a hack is it.

When I`m downloading with JDownloader2 without browsing with Firefox, everything is ok. When I start the Firefox and I start to browse the internet, Firefox can not open the requsted pages.I receive "bad request", "secure connection can not be established (on NON SECURE pages!!!)", "The connection has been reseted", instead of the requested page I see the html code of the page or Firefox wants to download or open the page on the strange way. After a while Firefox can not connect nowhere.Even the Forecast toolbar and Xmarks is reporting the "Connection Lost" or "connection failed". After a while JDownloader will "loose" the connection also. Its reporting Host problem or connection problem with every host. After closing of JDownloader2 I close the Firefox, so no visible window of Firefox or JDownloader seen. BUT, if I trie to relunch the Firefox, it reports that Firefox is already running and it needs to be closed first! I have investigated this with Process Explorer and I saw that Firefox is really running as Java.exe too. Moreover I could not kill any of them, because access was denied. I have closed all ports remaining from JDownloader2 and Firefox, but they processes could not be killed anyway. I meant time I have noticed, that Windows Explorer has slowed down (respons time was 5-10 seconds!).The CPU meter gadget showed some strange CPU usage like 09%,02%, etc I have to restart my PC to solve this problem. Before a month ago I didn`t have these problem. Be so kind and help me to solve this problem, please! I already did: 1.Uninstall and reinstall Java 7update 5 2.Uninstall and reinstall JDownloader 2 3.I have checked the Firewal of ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.1.079.000.Every instance of the Firefox, Java, Jawav and JDownloader 2 has unrestricted access to internet.They are "Super trusted" processes. There is no web scan or similar to turn off.Anyway, I didn`t change anything, before this problem occured. Everything is happaning only with Firefox-JDownloader2 combination. I have: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32 bit Firefox 14.01 JDownloader 2 Java 7Update 5 AMD Athlon II X2 240, 2,80 Ghz 4 GB RAM

I have been suggested by JIAZ(JD support), that this is typical firewall/av issue. Kaspersky had this before and AntiMalwareBytes.If I`m correct, ZA AV engine is Kaspersky, so I investigate the problem from this site I have uninstalled ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.1.079.000 and tried downloading with JD2 and browsing with Firefox 14.01. I had only few times that Firefox wants to download or open the page on the strange way, but let say, it works fine with JD2 and Java 7.5.

I decided to upgrade ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.1.079.000 to ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.2.074.000. So far, everything is working fine! I can download with JD2 (Java 7.5) and browsing with Firefox 14.01 in the same time!

Moreover:

Version history: ZoneAlarm version 10.2.074.000 Added: Italian language localization ZoneAlarm Extreme Security version 10.2.073.000 Optimized: Installer, component installation order ZoneAlarm Extreme Security version 10.2.072.000 Added: Firefox 14 support Fixed issue: Chrome configuration fix Fixed issue: ZA Free, messaging usability improvements ZoneAlarm Extreme Security version 10.2.068.000 Added: Firefox 14 support Added: Stop all internet activity option Added: Snooze AV or Firewall for 5 mins option Improved: Security toolbar Improved: AV engine Improved: Installer Fixed issue: Riskware options usability Fixed issue: Various other improvements and fixes

It was my fault! Sorry! Thank You for Your time and effort! Maybe this issue will help to someone else too...

As I can see on the file, Firefox is showing up directly HTTP requests without processing them. Make sure extensions such as Live HTTP Requests are not installed. Try also to run Firefox on safe mode. Make sure no about:config setting is user defined. Check your computer for malware, try Firefox Portable to see if your profile is corrupted and check your JDownloader settings. It is difficult to locate an issue of two different programs in combination, but I have installed JDownloader and doesn't report these problems. Another question: have you installed FlashGot when asked for after installing JDownloader? Maybe FlashGot combinated with JDownloader is the source of the problem.

Please check up my tips and reply here or tweet me on my profile.
