Q: Automatically accept incoming network connections?

Hi,

I tried to post this question in response to a post about firewall settings "HT201642"

But after writing the question it asks "Select a Community To Post To" and firewall is not there?

 

I have my firewall turned on and in "Security and Privacy" > "Firewall Options"

the application is in the list of applications to "Allow incoming connections".

However the pop-up box to Deny or Allow still appears every time I open the application.

I have removed it from the list and re-added it, but still get the pop-up alert/box.

 

Any ideas?

Many Thanks
