Hi Jackie,
Now that you say that, the same thing happened to me, but I thought I was
just seeing things as it were. Strange.

Ok, well, I just discovered something & I feel a little stupid but...
Evidently, IE's default prefix is http:// & Firefox's appears to be
www. So, IE accepts localhost just fine because it prepends the
http://. Firefox, on the other hand, it would appear, prepends www, &
the result is thus predictable. Therefore, in firefox,
http://localhost works--localhost, on the other hand, craters.
Wonder if that behavior can be changed? I'll have to look in its
about:config. Like I said, I feel kind a dumb, but if my stupidity can
now help some1 else, I figured I should share w/the list even if it
means I have egg on my face. Scrambled, really firm, please.
