Override banned ports in Firefox about:config

Sometimes you need to allow an incoming connection through a specific port that Firefox is blocking. You can override this by following these steps:

  1. Open Firefox
  2. Type this into in the address bar: about:config
  3. Accept the fate of your Firefox warranty
  4. Right-click on the window
  5. Select: New>String
  6. Enter the preference name: network.security.ports.banned.override
  7. The value will be the port you want to open for your browser (you can open it all of the way by entering 1-65535... however, I don't recommend this)
  8. Test it out
