I get these popups from the OS firewall whenever I open certain apps that need to accept incoming connections. The problem is I keep hitting accept, but each time I load them up they ask me for permission again... Isn't there a way to trust them?

That sounds like Little Snitch to me. See if you have it installed...

That is Little Snitch. There is no other program that does that, which I know of.

it does it for me too but i havent installed littlesnitch and i re installed and I still get the pop ups

Can you take a screenshot of one?

ditto
i don't have LS installed either

it bothers me so much but i can't turn off the firewall either

In /Applications/System Preferences > Security:

oh thanks, i'd just like to know if theres a way to keep the firewall on without all the hassles of clicking ALLOW everytime i want to allow the same application

thanks a lot!

I know it makes no sense (shame on you Apple!) but actually there is no way to have precise control over the new Firewall, and personally, I haven't been able to do what your'e looking for. Option 2 (Set access for specific...) should take care of it, but it don't remember your choices so you are bugged with the same questions again every session.

Hopefully 10.5.2 will bring some improvement!

yeah... i'm using SET ACCESS FOR SPECIC right now actually lol

thanks anyways, i'm already looking forward to 10.5.2

10.5.2 fixed it 4 me

yes, i certainly hope it works for me too. i just installed it and i'll report back here after a day or so without the popups

ok, it seems to be working now

it just came back so i turned of the firewallClick to view attachment

ugh i think you're right... at least there was a moment of peace...

lol
