[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1622107, member: 331386"] I can help you do you have the security turned on on yosemite go into system pref and select security and privacy and once open click the lock at the bottom of the window to unlock it now on the general tab select allow apps from anywhere. this is the same problem i had with firefox i had to completely remove firefox including its pref from the system folder Macintosh HD/SYSTEM/Library/identity services/Firefoxblock.plist this also shows up and i removed it as well if this doesn't show up in the folder listed then the good news is you just need to reinstall firefox after the security allow all apps runs for some odd reason this is what is in the file. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>AutoConfigureVettedAddresses</key> <true/> <key>DisplayName</key> <string>Firefoxblock</string> <key>Identifier</key> <string>com.apple.private.alloy.blockmalware</string> <key>LaunchDarwinNotification</key> <string>com.apple.firefoxblock.idslaunchnotification</string> <key>ProtocolName</key> <string>com.apple.private.alloy.block</string> <key>PushTopic</key> <string>com.apple.private.alloy.Block</string> <key>ServiceName</key> <string>com.apple.private.alloy.Block</string> <key>SendPhoneNumberRegistration</key> <true/> <key>Firefoxblock</key> <true/> I backed up the file and the good news is it seems to only block the firefox web browser if you upgrade from another o.s but after i installed a fresh full non upgraded yosemite i had no issues and this never came up again i think that the only reason this file was in place is there where bad versions of firefox that where not created from legit sources and they where blocked during upgrade because of a dialer trogen but it doesn't work on mac it was just blocked to fix the main issue anyways give it a shot and have fun [/QUOTE]
