[LINK] WebSockets

[Kim Holburn]

According to this page:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/WebSockets
You will also need to set the network.websocket.override-security-block preference to true in order to allow initializing a WebSocket connection.

As I read this, without the second value (network.websocket.override-security-block) set to true websockets can't initialize a connection even if the websockets were enabled.
