I keep getting messages from Norton security that there has been an attack that has been blocked. It is accompanied by the message that 'the attack was resulted from device/harddiskvolume2/programfiles/mozillafoxfire/foxfire.exe Why is this happening so frequently? Also I was getting a message every time I closed my browser window that Firefox had crashed (even though it had not), and it wanted to send a message to Mozilla.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Two days ago

I did some searching and found http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/repeated-quot-intrusion-attempt-quot-alerts-from-Norton-AV-2010/m-p/232823

Maybe that will help? Did you come across a website that said was scanning your computer for viruses? Those websites are really attack sites.
