 Hi,

 Firefox is spamming my ports with pending connections. The longer i run
 firefox, the more ports are blocked.

 It seems this issue is associated with #8890 as I'm forced to use an http
 proxy to connect and all direct access to the internet is blocked.

 OS: Windows 7
 Firefox: 22.0
 HTTPS-Everywhere: 3.2.4

 Simon
