Create a tutorial, like the others at <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firewalls> for Mac firewall.

Comment 1

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

what is Mac firewall?  Do you mean the built-in firewall on Mac OS X or is this something else?

Comment 2

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

Built-in OS X firewall.

Ambiguous article title?

Comment 3

[Leonard Slutsky]

The Mac firewall doesn't specifically block applications, it blocks services or activity on specific ports. What would be the significance of the article?

Comment 4

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

There was an article comment on the Firewalls article asking about Mac. So I guess this is an invalid bug? I'm not familiar with the Mac firewall, so I'm just going by what others say.

Comment 5

[Leonard Slutsky]

Actually, the firewall for Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) has the capability to select access by application (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1810) but the firewall for Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) does not.
