As each update comes in any firewall applications you have will see it
as something new. So you will have to set permissions for it. If you
have a hardware firewall as well, you may have to set it up.

My other PC works fine with 1.5.0.1 so I assume it is not the hardware
firewall
I have matched all options in Firefox on the 2 machines
Turned out it was being blocked by PCcillin which had two different
firefox setings
Thanks for your quick response
