Mozilla Firebird had been working fine for weeks with only
80,3128,443,20,21 approved for TCP out. Recently Firebird
made a request for some other number apparently, as Kerio 215
popped up a permission request for Firebird. I approved it as
I wanted to complete whatever I was doing. It established a
new rule in Kerio for TCP out on 'any' port for Firebird. I
unapproved it ASAP and haven't seen another request.
I'll try to note everything involved if it happens again, but
does anyone have any ideas why Firebird all of a sudden needed
something other than the five approved ports?
