Q695 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Does anyone know why firefox defaults to google if you type in an address that isn't "localhost/.../?", but when I put in 127.0.0.1 it worked perfectly?

QuickOldCar Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 localhost isn't being seen as a valid web address, so it doing a google search instead You can modify the browsers behavior https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-web-address-bar#w_turning-off-the-internet-keyword-search can even change in your hosts file to redirect somewhere else 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost get-a-domain-name.com Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/283455-odd-behavior-with-the-new-firefox/#findComment-1458715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
