Welcome to the Forum, Roonio!

Hi Roonio,

If you haven't already done so, create a user.js file:

Open Notepad
Add this script:
user_pref( "network.security.ports.banned.override ", "87,95,1080,2080,3080 ");
Save the file to your *.slt folder
This folder (depending on your OS) is located here:

Windows 2000/Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\xxxxxxxx.slt
NOTE: These files are hidden by default.

Windows NT
C:\Winnt\Profiles\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\xxxxxxxx.slt

Windows ME
C:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\xxxxxxxx.slt

Windows 98
C:\Windows\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\xxxxxxxx.slt

HTH,

Ramona
