For those using Firefox 3

Grizzly · 06-22-2008, 11:25 AM

Apparently, people using Firefox 3 have been getting a message that looks like this.

I assume it to be something new about Firefox.

Anyway, don't just click "ignore this warning". Every time you try to load a page at TFF you'll get that attack post. What you want to do is go to top bar on firefox, click Tools, click Options, and then go to "Security". There will be a box that says, "Tell me if the site I'm visiting is a suspected attack". Uncheck that box and click ok. That should do the trick of getting rid of the attack message from coming up over and over.

P.S. - I'm unsure if this should go here or the digital forum, but I made this in hopes of helping the other people using firefox 3, lol.

Thanks man. It's been happening to me for like the fifth time now!

I'll be sure to do that.

Thank you for that! Much appreciated. My Firefox was having the exact same troubles and it was starting to get on my nerves. I guess that's what I got for updating to Firefox 3. Thanks again.

Don't get me wrong, FireFox 3 was an essential update. It's not that it's "trouble", it's just a new feature. You can disable it and turn it off if you want to. So I don't see it as a con to not update.

Thanks, had to hit "ignore this warning" quite a few times until I got here, it was getting annoying.

Weird, the other night I got an actual dialog window saying it was automatically blocked and wouldn't let me through.

Weird. But yeah I figured out what it was, thanks for posting this though.

This 'warning' page only shows up when you try to view TFF through Google. I have already contacted their 'Quality Search Team' regarding the matter.

Apparently this has been happening (or has happened) a lot to other FF and WoW websites... I'm thinking it is something to do with Gil Farming text-links being inserted onto the website... none-the-less, I have taking care of the situation and the warning should be removed sooner than later. Thanks for sharing the temp solution Vicious.

Actually that's not quite true Fuzz. I got the warning page just by clicking on TFF from my Bookmark toolbar. So.. take that as you will.

I didnt open the forums via google i put the adress straight into the URL but it still came up for me but i think thats becuase firefox uses google to check sites before it loads them.

Not sure how or when that warning pops up... it is a combination between firefox and Google, that is for sure.

I have been running around hardcore trying to resolve this. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Thanks for your patience

What I find hilarious is that Google lists a spoofer of ITSELF as the sender of trojans. Hello? Are they retarded? Yes. Google has been going downhill and this is yet another peg on the board. What would be even more hilarious is if they own that address. They own tens of thousands of word combinations with google in it. Pretty much anything you can think of with google in it, they own it. In any case, the actual ads are coming from Google, so the fact that they are using dirty ads is quite clear.

As much as you all may hate it, Google is loosing ground in the search market to Microsoft every day. They've been getting their hands dirty and its coming back to bite them in the ass. I love them as a search engine, but then they had to go and stick their nose into the ad business and become the top garbage advertiser in the market. And buying Youtube... that was hilarious. No company in their right mind wants to advertise on a video trash heap. If they don't clean up, Microsoft will railroad their ass to hell... and then we'll all be screwed eternally.
