Marcelo: If you're still seeing this problem, what do you mean exactly when you say a message is displayed that says "mozilla is connected"? Where do you see this message? Is it in a dialog that Mozilla pops up, or something from Windows, or your Firewall? It looks to me like some random people are portscanning you for whatever reason, and since one of the ports in use happens to be owned by Mozilla, the firewall "blames" it for the problem. I'm not saying this is definitely not a problem in Mozilla, but it seems unlikely. Thanks for any new information.
i haven't seeing this problem in new version of Mozilla since my last post. this has happened when i was navigating is some web pages. is an dialog that Mozilla pops up, not Windows or Firewall, because it's also happens in my Linux. it's similar that javascript function "Alert", but the pages that i was navigating (winamp.com/kde.org) doesn't use popups or javascrit alerts. this is not a simple port-scan, my firewall - Zone Alarm in Windows, configured for ask, in Linux ,Tiny Firewall - warn me about a incoming connection to Mozilla, as server. if i allow these incoming connection, Mozilla pops up that message. if i not allow-it, the firewall block-it. i know that seems unlikely, but my Mozilla is pure, without plugins or anything that can contaminate-it. i'm sorry for not give you more information about this, because it's all that i have for now.
