check log

[hesss5]

if you mean wfptool.log check bellow
https://gist.github.com/hesss5/3e4eb1790c08cbf0ae1f02868056d907#file-log
but now think about software conflict
and it seems have conflict with spyshelter firewall.
i totally allowed everything for wfptool.exe plus added wfptool.exe and firefox.exe in too "Processes not monitored by AntiNetworkSpy module" but nothing help
after totally disable spyshelter firewall protection Firefox will ask for start

[henrypp]

i think it happened because spyshelter trying to upload information (about firefox, maybe) to check into the owner (or virustotal) website to check and it can't because blocked.

salvation: you may add spyshelter into whitelist or remove him

[hesss5]

Spyshelter only check for update option which is also can be disabled
and file analyzers like virus total will only call by user so nothing upload.
i already added Spyshelter to white list but same
but i don't know is the case or not?

no. spyshelter installs kernel-mode wfp & tdi driver's and working throught "system" process and can do all above written hiddenly ;)

@henrypp @hesss5 how to solve the problem? I have encountered a similar problem that a wfp filter freeze Firefox. Thanks for your time.

[hesss5]

@xjdrew no idea how. maybe @henrypp know
anyway latest version of spyshelter and simplewall working with each other

[henrypp]

@xjdrew try to enable "Allow listen connections for all"

[xjdrew]

@hesss5 @henrypp thanks very much！ Firefox listens on a local port and try to connect to self when launch, if the connection is blocked, it will refuse to startup.
