355259 - hanza.net - Port 563 restricted? I need it to enter my bank via that port when I am using ID card

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 347393

(Firefox :: Security, defect)

Description

[vanarebane]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060918 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060918 Firefox/2.0

Simple.. I cannot use ID card because bank uses port 563 and Firefox 2.0 thinks it's not web related port. I even didn't try to disable my firewall, because firefox says: "Firefox has cancelled the request for your protection."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just enter the site with port 563

Actual Results:  
Firefox error:
"This address is restricted
This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has cancelled the request for your protection."

Expected Results:  
Ask my ID card PIN code and continue.

Only solution is to start my good old IE and use that, but that's no fun :)
I hope you guy's can make this port usable again, because I cant ask my bank to change a PORT !!

I but the severity level to Minor because there is another way to log into the bank but those ways are not as safe.

For info about ID card we use in Estonia.. look here: http://www.id.ee/pages.php/0303

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/PortBanning.html doesn't list 563, but it is a bit of a curious choice:
nntps 563/tcp snntp # NNTP over SSL
