Currently I am using Firefox browser manually configured to have all
traffic use a single port thru my proxy. However, when I launch a
browser, FF opens four additional, consecutive  ports (127.0.0.1:extra
ports) as seen with netstat.  In WS, when I search for these
four additional ports I do not find them. Not an expert so could
someone please enlighten me.  I hate to have anything invisible.
Thanks
