Change the admin port to another port via the CLI console, and Port 80 is successfully configured for the HTTP port:

 

config system global
(global)# show full | grep port
    set admin-port 80
    set admin-sport 443
    set admin-ssh-port 22

(global)# set admin-port 8800
(global)# end

 

config web-proxy explicit-proxy
    edit web-proxy
(web-proxy) # set http-incoming-port 80
web-proxy) # end
