App-Manager does not connect to Firefox OS Simulator on Windows 7

OS: Windows 7

Firefox: 28

Firefox OS 1.2 Simulator 6.0pre8.20140112

When I start the Simulator it opens fine and I can see a Firefox OS Desktop But the App Manager does not connect. The console at the right bottom just says:

...connecting to localhost:56455 (the port varies)

...connection timeout. Possible causes: didn't click on 'accept' (prompt).

...disconnecting

...disconnected

I disabled my firewall, restarted firefox and even the system - did not help there is a similiar bug - but I am not sure if we are talking about the same: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/988385

Thank you

well - I already knew these links and I can`t find anything helpful there anyway, I tried the (unstable) Simulator for 1.3 instead of 1.2 this one works fine
