Filed as requested. I apologize if its a dupe.

Windows 7(x64)
Comodo Firewall 3.13 (Windows Firewall is Off)

The mozilla-runtime is treated as a completely separate program by Firewall software.

On load of a plugin, the process is caught by the Firewall software attempting to connect to the web. As in, if firefox.exe is already allowed to connect, those same properties would not work for mozilla-runtime.exe.

I understand that Chrome gets around this issue by having the main app being called to create the new processes. That way, all processes use the same firewall rules.

Reproducible: Always
