I have some internal DEV web servers hosted in non port 80 web sites. If I try to use FF9 to visit I got forbidden port error.

I followed instruction to modify my C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profilename>\prefs.js to include user_pref("network.security.ports.banned.override", "81"); and restarted FF9, still got blocked port.
