The firewall system preference will check to make sure the ipfw rules
are in synch with the personal firewall settings. If anything is off,
the preference panel will assume a third party firewall is installed.
If a third party firewall uses kernel extensions instead of setting up
ipfw rules, the preference pane will not notice.

I have an application that uses ports 49152-65535; the ports are

app to request the firewall permits data transfer on the assigned
ports without involving the User each time. I was thinking that the
User would be prompted for authorisation once, when my app first
accessed the firewall API.
I have a third-party firewall running and, interestingly, if I access
firewall settings from System Preferences I get a message telling me
to access the third-party app.
