Created a tunnel over ssh from my remote machine to use the studio server's internal webserver,
similar to tunneling TightVNC. Got a firefox error when trying to access the tunnel using http://localhost:6000 -
This address is restricted: This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection.
Found the solution at

- Go to about:config in your Firefox browser.
- Right click somewhere, and choose "New => String"
- In the setting Name box type "network.security.ports.banned.override"
- In the Setting Value box, type "1-65535" or whatever port-range you want to allow.
- Click OK
It doesn't work on FF3.5
ReplyDeleteI tried it on my FF3.5, and it seems to be working even though the about:config does not show up this setting name. Maybe because I set it and then upgraded?
