Firefox: Unblock a nonstandard port in Firefox3

If you try to browse a non-standard (a non-port-80 port) using Firefox 3, you will get he common Firefox can't-do-this-Try-Again error.
This is because Firtefox tries to protect you from evil-men-on-the-net, or yourself by blocking all ports but port 80. You need to unblock using a nonstandard port such as 81, 28 8888, 8971in Firefox3 by following the directions on this page: [ http://bdbits.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/unblock-a-nonstandard-port-in-firefox3/ ]
I've test this and it works just fine!
