User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4044.113 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

We use the following to install our extension:
var params = {
"Extension x.x.x.x": {

        URL: Extension._extPath + Extension._xpiName,
        IconURL: Extension._imgPath + "Extension.png",
        toString: function () {                 return this.URL;             }
    }
};

InstallTrigger.install(params);

The xpi file is hosted in a non standard HTTPS port (not 443)

Actual results:

The installation fails with the following error:
The add-on could not be downloaded because of a connection failure.

When we change the port to 443, the installation succeeds.

Expected results:

The installation should succeed
