I've not encountered any issues with the 'random port grab'. Have you 
seen it take a port from another service?  When I have looked at this in 
the past and I just reviewed them again the ports seem to be on the 
loopback interface only. Some of the ADMINx jobs communicate with each 
other that way.

I do agree that an auto refresh option would be a great addition. The 
HMC does it well so you'd think they could 'borrow' some code from there 
or at least a technique that works.

I am using FF 29 and that stores the exception no issue. Scrolling is 
zippy fast as well. Your issue 'smells' perhaps of an AV product that is 
attempting to keep your browsing safe, just a hunch.

And then there's the dangerous practice under 7.1 to grab a random port at startup, regardless if it's a dedicated port used by another IBM service.  If they fixed those glaring deficiencies (and added MGTC integration) in 7.2, I would consider converting.
