Okay, great. So I can't access this thing on my *local* network which I, the user, WHOM I TRUST FULLY, has deemed 100% safe.
1) Why does Firefox distrust its own user?! How can I trust it, if it doesn't trust me? Trust can ONLY exist mutually, and CANNOT be enforced. 2) Why does Firefox distrust my local network, without consulting me first? Should LAN services start blocking Firefox in return? Let's be humane here, and give each other the benefit of the doubt. Then block if need be. 3) What is the list of ports being arbitrarily blocked? 4) How do I overrule this disgraceful decision?

You need to create these string prefs because they are hidden and do not exist by default.
