Your "solution" has nothing to do with firewalls.

Manually start JAVA (because I've noticed that Limewire won't) by going to: Start->All Programs->Java Web Start->Java Web Start ... At this point, your firewall will ask you for permission to allow javaws.exe and javaw.exe, allow both plus any other popups that are opened.

Limewire don´t starts Java because it don´t have to be started.
