Hi!

I've installed firefox on freebsd 9.1 i386, got this security message
from portupgrade :


> ===>   Registering installation for firefox-19.0.2,1
> ===> SECURITY REPORT: 
>       This port has installed the following files which may act as network

Can you please tell me more about the risk and of course the solution ?

Thanks

Bernard
