That is damned annoying. I frequently find myself wanting to just add a
port to the open list or delete one from it. But to use this tool, I need
to remember the entire list of ports from invocation to invocation. (And
I can't run Firestarter because it's an X app and my firewall's a
limited-capacity machine that won't run X).
How about just a check box that says, "Check here if you don't really know
what you are doing."
