2. try to connect to it.
3. Error message saying the port is disabled for security reasons

Actual Results:

-> invalid

Read the Release notes first before you report a bug and/or search for already
reported bugs.

blocker ? 
This doesn't block mozilla development -> normal

I have read the release notes. We are a company that uses Mozilla a lot. We 
develop embedded linux devices and I'm not satisfied with bug closer hitlers. 
Your product still has this bug and it should be dealt with.

From the bug report page.
Blocker: This bug prevents you from testing or developing Mozilla.
Yes this prevents me from testingand developing with mozilla.

That is no bug, that's a wanted security feature that you can disable via
preferences.

Where is the problem ?
