That's not how that works. Port forwarding maps ports to an internal address on the network so the router knows which computer to send the packets (this is to get around NAT). This is only needed if the router doesn't already know which computer to send them to, but when you connect to a website, you've established a connection and thus mapped the port already. Basically, you only need to forward a port if there are non-established incoming connections (if you're hosting a server, for instance). That's a simplistic overview, but it should give you an idea.
I'll do some research on the router when I have more time.
