Just enter the URL with a port specification, just like any other
browser, e.g.:
http://www.somehost.com:6000/

I know how to access a web server listening on port 6000... and how to
specify the URL... it is not the point!

The problem is that Mozilla gives me the folowing error:
"Access to the port number given has been disabled for security reasons"

I have a web site that is listening on port 6000...

Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.

(I suppose it is configurable on Mozilla.... but how!?)

Perhaps if you wanted a better answer you should have been more clear in
your original email.

You should have said that originally. A quick search of mozilla.org
yeilds this result:

Since I run servers on arbitrary ports all the time, I didn't realize
right away that you were running on an X11 port number.
