Is there a alternative default port number for https (443) which is above 1024?

We want to hide the port number in firefox address bar, we can't change to port 443 since we don't have root user. Is that possible?

For firefox browser, is there an 'alternative default https port' that is above 1024 and firefox will attempt when the url starts with https?

As the comments mention, no you can't. However, you can use any port you want, as long clients explicitly mention it. Anything 1024 or higher is a non-standard port and can be used.
