Description

When editing a firewall rule and then forcing a pfBlockerNG Update command, all aliases will become empty until you run a force reload in pfBlockerNG.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Edit any firewall rule (doesn't need to be a pfBlockerNG rule)
2. Go to Firewall --> pfBlockerNG --> Update, select "Update" and run
3. Go to Firewall --> Rules and hover over any firewall rule with a pfBlockerNG alias. The alias will be empty.

To resolve, you must go to Firewall --> pfBlockerNG --> Update and run a "Reload" to fix the issue.
