Mozilla has just forced me to open the browser to PHISHING and REDIRECTION attacks.

Mozilla HAS TO allow site by site exceptions to this. This global settings gives you only one choice... to disable because 80% of my work sites get blocked. 100% of my banking sites get blocked. etc etc. Unfortunately turning this off makes browsing completely susceptible to phishing and redirection attacks.

The only option left is to use Chrome... and I HATE Google with a severe passion.

What is with the worthless response from FredMcD? Is he just spamming answers to drive up his ranking?

Ryker Abel,

It's not a worthless response. It's the correct one for you. See the Mozilla Support rules and guidelines on what is and isn't allowed on Mozilla Support.

Looking through your post history, you have also copied/pasted the same response above in another thread containing a similar issue to yours. You can't hijack other people's threads here. You are basically spamming at this point.

If you would like help with your issue, follow FredMcD's instructions and create your own thread with your own system details to ensure we get all relevant information about your set-up. Note: This does not include any personal/private information.

EDIT: Reiterating from our Forum rules and guidelines on the section "Posting support requests" , it states

Do not re-use existing threads started by others, even if they are seemingly on the same subject. Ask a new question instead.
