Why firefox do not make autoconfiguration in Windows firewall or any other firewall to allow
Cannot find server is the main problem I have. One of the reason, is firewall would have blocked the firefox. But, on solution , it was suggested to allow firewall thro windows firewall. When i open the settings, i could not find the Mozilla in the allowed program. I opted for change settings and opted allow program and then add the mozilla. my question is even unreliable programs make their automatic allow entries in windows firewall without noticing us. But not Mozilla. Why this happens?
I learnt from support article that you could add Mozilla to the allowable program. Why firefox itself could not make to configure it automatically, whenever it updates or not?
What is the difference between private public check box? in windows firewall for fire fox.

Firefox cannot make updates to another application configuration.
Can you please elaborate on what this is: windows firewall for firefox?
To simplify my query,
Why firefox does not auto find place in Windows firewall when some third parties program auto find place in windows firewall.
Because, it is a suggestion to enable windows firewall to allow firefox full access.
I had done and server not found errors are now minimum.
Please let me know that should i enable public also in Windows firewall for firefox program in the allow programs.
Please also say, that should it be no proxy or default system settings in the proxy settings .
Ah, thank you very much for the clarification.
These are the instructions how to configure the windows firewall for Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-windows-firewall-allow-fir...
"Allow a system program or feature" in the control panel is the menu that configures Firefox. More details can also be found http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls#Windows_Firewall
Please set it to Auto Proxy, however if it is not detected, please use manual https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-u...

My question is why firefox does not auto configure with the firewall. I have already made those adjustments and the same has been reported in my starting query. Any better reply
jraju,
- How did you apply the update? And how is the firewall configured to allow traffic from Firefox? "No Web browser or any other program can control the firewall. If it could, that would completely bypass the security of the firewall."
- How does the Firewall handle updates to other applications? How does the Firewall recognize Firefox application traffic?

Hi, When installing some programs, they automatically configure with the firewall so that no problem.
But in firewall settings, the firefox does not shown up. So to say, that Hp printer auto configure with firewall so that it found place.
I have done the update by clicking about firefox in the help menu as usual. Know that firewall could not be controlled by any third party programs.
My question is how is that you have to go to the add the mozilla firefox to allow it to run to avoid system not found error. When all the programs auto configure itself it to be allowed by firewall.
I hope you understand my query
