mod_security with gotroot rules filtering out firefox

Hello everybody, I just wanted to confirm if you guys had the same problem. It seems that mod_security with gotroot rules for apache 1.3 is filtering out firefox. Everything works fine with IE. With the latest firefox I get this for any page requested: mod_security-message: Access denied with code 500. Pattern match "^GET (http|https|ftp)\\:/" at THE_REQUEST [severity "EMERGENCY"]

This happens when you try to take php page? Does taking html page result the same?

Is your firefox configured to connect through a proxy, or using some anonymous browsing plugin?

foobic was right, firefox was setup to use a proxy and that was the cause. Thank you all
