I have home security cameras that use port 2049 to be accessed on the web but FF blocks this port can I change the blocked list and how do I do it? Thank you

Hi bump- Mozilla allows a user to modify the default port blocking through the addition of preferences containing comma delimited lists of port numbers to either the user.js file (for single users) file in the user's profile directory or the all.js file (for multi-user systems) in the defaults/pref/ sub-directory in the installation directory for Mozilla in order to enable or block ports in Mozilla.
user.js user.js uses the user_pref(...) command to set preferences per user.
Enabling Ports user_pref("network.security.ports.banned.override", "port1,port2");
A less conventional and potentially risky [but quick] fix is to do the following: 1) go to about:config in the Firefox address bar 2) right click, choose new->string 3) enter the name network.security.ports.banned.override and the value 1-65535
Hope that helps!
