Currently Firefox is redirecting http://localhost:8080 to http://localhost:8081 , each time when type the address in the URL address bar.

I have been working with a container wordpress. I have tested in chrome the address http://localhost:8080 and all works fine.

How can we fix that problems, thanks in advance.

Chosen solution

The solution was. Click in application menu> Settings> Privacy and Security> Clear Data. check in - cookies and site data - cached web content

After that, the address http://localhost:8080 is no longer being redirected. The problem with this solution is that have to log in again in all the web pages I use daily.
