This is really a problem of how TCP is designed. If you completely block packets
to the right port, your computer will not get any ICMP message that the port is
invalid, and thus will get the usual 30 second timeout. Does it recover after 30
seconds?

That's more serious. That means you tried to print something in Firefox?
