Firefox create some pairs of localhost connections.
(as described by Wan-Teh Chang 2002-03-25)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100154#c18
But port numbers take randomly, and it create problems for other software, also running on localhost.
If that software start after firefox and want to take, for example, localhost:1042, it cannot because firefox already taken it.
Please, add to preferences a port range in which firefox can take the localhost ports. Then every user can configure that ports in own configuration.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start firefox
2.netstat -ano
3.see localhost:NNNN Established
Actual Results:
TCP 127.0.0.1:1677 127.0.0.1:1678 ESTABLISHED 3232
TCP 127.0.0.1:1678 127.0.0.1:1677 ESTABLISHED 3232
Expected Results:
want to configure NNNN range.

FF 4.0b4 using 62417 - 62418 ports... it's more reasonable.
