Just installed Firefox for my boss, and ran into something I've not seen before. When trying to access our private camera system, that uses specific ports, I got this message: "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."

Cannot find a setting in Firefox to correct this problem. Please help.
