I set up a freshly installed virtual machine for testing, borrowing
"our" ferm configs. The goal was to see if Firefox attempts to contact
CUPS on port 631 even though it was disabled with the
print.postscript.cups.enabled configuration variable being set to false.

Results:
- Debian Wheezy's Iceweasel: Fails
- Mozilla's Firefox 24.7.0 ESR: Fails
- Mozilla's Firefox 31: Pass

tl;dr:

They fixed the problem sometime between Firefox 24 and Firefox 31.

Now to tinker with the firewall rules a bit...
