I got McAfee Personal firewall with this computer when I bought it. I just downloaded Firefox and when I try to go to a web page I get:

"If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."

I need help changing the McAfee firewall to allow Firefox to access the internet.
