Package: firestarter
Version: 1.0.3-8
Severity: normal

I've had problems browsing some web pages that use https protocol. The browser
tries to load the page but eventually there is a time out or some simple parts
of the screen are shown but it's basically unusable. This issue happens
irrespective of the browser (tested iceweasel, chrome and epiphany).

After investigation it seems that firestarted is blocking the ACK SYN package
from the site not loading properly. E.g. I can't load
https://discussions.apple.com but I get a lot of this on syslog

There are other sites that have this issue. However, there are also https sites
that I can load properly such as https://www.nebula.fi/

I believe firestarter should recognize this is the connections I asked for and
let these packages pass. Not sure why it's blocking them.
