I notice that ports 256,257,and 258 are open when our Firewall-1 is
portscanned. 

And 9/10 other installations of FW-1.

Does anyone know what FW-1 uses these ports for?  

Check the "Services" definition within fwgui or wherever it stores that
info (can't right now).

Should those ports be visible from the Internet? 

No.
