live.bittorrent.com, localhost and ABE

Currently for getting BitTorrent Live to work on Firefox I have to allow live.bittorrent.com, 127.0.0.1 aka localhost, and disable ABE.

How can I make btlive to work without disabling ABE?

Thanks in advance.

What appears in the Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) under Messages when this occurs?

Yes, that will work, and well done for figuring it out.

If you want to be more selective and just allow BitTorrent to reach the single address it needs, not your whole LAN, you could instead write:

Code: Select all

Site http://127.0.0.1:1930
Accept from .live.bittorrent.com
Accept from LOCAL
Deny

Site LOCAL
Accept from LOCAL
Deny
NB Putting LOCAL on its own line is usually a good idea; it's quirky.
