Hi, Latest FF is installed on my SGS Galaxy Tab S tablet (android 4.4.2). I have local web serever in the same home network. FF cannot open resources using dns name but can open it by ip. Other browsers on the same tablet (Chrome and default android browser) can open that local resource by name. So I guess there is something wrong with ff.

Localhost should be whitelisted, but check the dns config entries to see if something is wrong there. If so, we should file a bug for this.

Thanks for reply!

Could you please provide more details how to add localhost to white list in FF? My server that cannot be resolved by FF is not localhost but just some named server in my local net (net mask is 192.168.1.xxx)

About dns config: are you meaning some FF settings here or some common android settings? Not sure if it is common android issue since other browsers and applications are resolving my local server well.

On a tablet/Firefox for Android there is an entry by default that does this.

Keyword.enabled is set to true as well, are there any apps changing this behavior in the tablet?
