Not a security bug, clearing flag.

Do you run a Firewall? We've seen several instances of Firewalls blocking the
Firefox program and usually you can go into the configuration settings of your
firewall and tell it Firefox is OK. Sometimes this happens when someone clicks
OK on a firewall warning prompt without really reading it, other times we
haven't been able to figure out why the firewall started disliking Firefox.

Without more information on something fixable in firefox this is probably an
invalid bug. You might get help narrowing down the problem from the user support
groups listed at http://www.mozilla.org/support/#community

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
