Description Maks Vasilev 2006-12-28 15:42:05 UTC

I use a plenty of devices and programs which use HTTP ports which are distinct from 80 in the my company.

Such behaviour firefox is pure sabotage and is not admissible.

I find a temporary solution - remove everywhere firefox and install opera.

Comment 1 Robert O'Callahan 2006-12-29 05:31:45 UTC

Firefox blacklists some ports for HTTP, to prevent attacks against network services.

Comment 2 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2006-12-29 10:24:48 UTC

This behaviour is no SUSE modification and we can't change it our own.
So mozilla.org would be the right address to complain (while I don't think there is a good reason for it).
You should set 
pref("network.security.ports.banned.override", "PORT1,PORT2");
for selected ports.

Comment 3 Maks Vasilev 2006-12-29 15:20:42 UTC

This is a very bad solution for more of 1000 workstation.

Comment 4 Maks Vasilev 2006-12-29 15:25:53 UTC

If i override all of 65000 ports FF don't start

Comment 5 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2006-12-29 15:38:39 UTC

I doubt that you need all 65000 ports and if you have 1000 openSUSE workstations. And if you had I think SLED10 together with Zenworks would be a good idea and I'm sure Novell would solve this problem for you.

At the moment I'm not really sure what you want to get from Novell? A modified Firefox (which wouldn't be Firefox for trademark reasons anymore) and all of that for 1000 corporate clients running on openSUSE 10.2 for free?
Please note that my comment shouldn't be a rant but I want to understand what you want to achieve.

Comment 6 Michael Wolf 2007-01-25 19:45:44 UTC

This certainly isn't critical.

Comment 7 Federico Mena Quintero 2007-11-14 19:00:32 UTC

This is being tracked at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341636

Because the LATER and REMIND resolutions have been removed, the resolution of this bug has changed from LATER to WONTFIX. If this bug needs to be reconsidered, reopen it and set a future "Target Milestone for Fix."
