安装firefox的QQ插件后访问arxiv出现问题

前几天去下了别人的qq中转站的几部电影，有些链接出现问题，安装了2个firefox插件：QQ旋风和QQ storage。

后来就出现访问不了arxiv.org的问题，界面提示403 Forbidden:

http://arxiv.org/denied.html的信息如下：

把QQ插件全部卸载之后，还是保持不变，给arxiv.org去信问是否ip被封的问题，回我说：

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

但是访问http://cn.arxiv.org/还是出现那样的问题

用Total commander搜索c盘的"QQ donwload"然后删除相关文件，再把firefox的cookie全部清空，还是不行。

至始至终，用chrome或者IE或者搜狗浏览器都访问arxiv正常，不知道为什么。

今天继续google，在下面这个网址找到一种方案

http://snet.xznu.edu.cn/post/faq.html

关于arxiv上不去那个问题，这是腾讯超级旋风搞的鬼，把它删掉就好。如果用的是firefox，则还要找到firefox安装目录，比如我的是 firefox plus\data\，在这个文件夹下找到prefs.js文件，用记事本打开，搜索qqdown关键词，把对应的配置语句删掉。

我用total commander按alt+F7在c盘查找prefs.js，目录和上面不一致，而且有好几个prefs.js文件，只有C:\Documents and settings\user\application data\mozilla\firefox\profiles\btkhuc29.default\prefs.js目录下找到的prefs.js内含qqdown关键字，句子为

user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; zh-CN; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 QQDownload/1.7");

删除后重新打开firefox还是失败，然后发现回到上面那个目录去重新看prefs.js文件，上面的这个句子又已经自动回复了。删除整个prefs.js文件仍然会自动生成，恢复如初。

继续google 如何修改prefs.js的帮助，找到问题所在“要想直接修改 prefs.js，应该完全关闭 Firefox（关闭所有的 Firefox 窗口）之後再打开 prefs.js 进行编辑，要不然编辑可能会被复盖。”

才发现自己确实没有在修改prefs.js的时候关闭firefox，赶紧按如上操作，问题终于恢复！

总结：

Q：firefox访问arxiv提示无法访问，出现有qqdownload软件/插件的威胁安全问题。

A：先卸载firefox的qq插件（主要是qq超级旋风下载插件），然后关闭firefox（这个一定要注意！），搜索整个c盘的prefs.js，用文本文件逐一打开查找关键词“qqdownload”，删除所在的整个句子，保存再关闭。然后重新打开firefox，再检查一遍prefs.js的qqdownload语句没有被恢复，再在firefox地址栏敲入arxiv.org测试连接。如果不行，请按这篇帖子重头到尾把其他操作加进来完整操作一遍。
