2. Click on the entry picture


Actual Results:  See "Alert: Access to the port number given has been disabled
for security reasons."

There should be an OBVIOUS checkbox to disable that protection.

This is a legitimate web site. I want to browse it. Why shouldn't I be able to?

add this line to the prefs.js to disable all this blockings.
(Note: There is a security problem if you do that)
