Incompatable with portable apps
Version 2.5.7 - OS win 10 1909
At windows restart, when launching portable app Firefox, it is blocked despite having marked it as allowed.
The only way to fix this, is open free firewall, click disable, then click enable. Then Firefox is able to connect to the internet again.
Seems like the way free firewall is identifying the application caches some sort of application id, and its not being flushed when the application is shutdown with windows, but seems to be when the disable button is clicked.
On each launch of Fire Fox, the identity you are using to match against the known list of allowed all, seems to be changing and that is not accounted for by free firewall .

I have the same problem, thanks for reporting it as well.
Anyone tested if this is fixed in 2.5.8? tia.
