FF is blocking access to a local address
Help is displayed by an app using local files in the default browser. Suddenly today, FF is blocking access to the help with the message
This address is restricted This address uses a network port w hich is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has cancelled the request for your protection.
The displayed url is http://peck:2049/help/topic/com.ibm.spss.statistics.help/overvw_auto_0.htm
This has been working for years until today.

Google search on the error message came up with the following:
- Network.security.ports.banned.override - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.security.ports.banned.override
got it. thx. The app picks a port at random and happened to pick a banned one.
