I am running firefox 3.6.3 in ubuntu 10.04. I am trying to access remotely my security dvr by using the address "admin,1:xxx.xx.x.xxx" the x's being the IP address where the dvr is installed on a network. I am getting the message "This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection." I have looked on the forum and have added the line "user_pref("network.security.ports.banned.override", 9000-9013");" to the prefs.js file as suggested. I still get the same message from firefox after having done this. I assume that I am using the correct protocol in the address bar, "admin,1" being the default user and password for my dvr. Thank you in advance for any help offered to solve this problem.

See http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/PortBanning.html

You can only use a comma delimited list and not specify a range.
Your user_pref code also misses a quote before the port number.

user_pref("network.security.ports.banned.override", "9000,9001,9002,9003,9004,9005,9006,9007,9008,9009,9010,9011,9012,9013");
