Bonsoir,

I have been trying for many days to use swat with firefox, typing in the
url form:

http://localhost:901

This failed because firefox try to open this url:
www.localhost.com

Why? Is something wrong with my firefox config?

And where can I change this?

Same problem if I try to open url:

http://hostname:901 (hostname= the name I gave to my computer)

FF try to open www.hostname.com (which does not exist)

If I try to open url:

http://127.0.0.1:901

There is no problem: swat is opened....

What is going wrong?

This does not happen if I want to open cups: url

http://localhost:631

is perfectly working.


Using f14 and last version of firafox for f14:  3.6.18

Thanks for enlightment.
