"a lot of other ports" -- which ones? Maybe it's related to using
Firebird events. You can control which port this is in your
Firebird.conf:

# The TCP Port Number to be used for server Event Notification
# messages. The value of 0 (Zero) means that the server will choose
# a port number randomly.
#
# Type: integer
#
#RemoteAuxPort = 0
