    i recently downloaded the Opera Mini web browser because i didnt like the blackberry one or the media net. but once downloaded, during the install it saysd that "opera mini is trying to gain access to the inside and outside of the firewall and this is not permitted with my IT policy." something like that. and when i try and go in to disable it or something, there is a little red padlock next to it, and i cant change it disable it or anything...can anyone help with this, so i can use the Opera Mini browser, or any browser 3rd party browser for that reason????

    They only solution I've found to this is to disable the firewall:

    Options > Security Options > Firewall > Status (Change to Disabled) > Save

    When you access Opera Mini, you will now get an "allow application to access Internet?" query (answer "yes"). I've found no way to be rid of this prompt, but at least you can access Opera Mini.

    Hello
    I appear to have this exact same problem and I can't disable the firewall - it looks to be locked. Is there anything I can do? I am running the latest software.
