Created attachment 8467544 firefox-local-hosts-bug.png Contents of my /etc/hosts is as follows:
127.0.1.1 amidea.dev amidea sanad.sanad.amidea.dev Firefox is NOT in Offline Mode, however with the network disconnected I'm unable to access a local site using Firefox v30. Firefox requires network connection to even browse local sites resolving to 127.0.1.1/127.0.0.1. Chrome (v35) can access the site normally as depicted in the screenshot. Occurs in Linux Mint 17 64-bit. Should I report a new bug? Because this happens irrespective of Work Offline checked or not. Bug 339814 seems to only cater to when Work Offline is checked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207456 Title: refuses to connect to localhost http server when in offline mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/207456/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
