Hi, I really got sick of Chrome's data robbery. Nowadays, I switched back to FF and I cannot believe to this problem. FF cannot open local weblogic domain after restart. I have to restart FF, then everything fine. It repeats for my every weblogic restart.

WebLogic address --> http://localhost:7001/console/ Tried this, but still no access --> http://localhost:7001/console/login/LoginForm.jsp

When I tried on Chrome and IE, everything is fine, and the console is accessible.

Another problem is, FF adds www and .com extensions to the local addresses, I've fixed this by manual configuration on about:config. By the way, this was also a nightmare and primitive.

FF Version: 35.0

Error Page: Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:7001. 

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

The best place to start with this are these troubleshooting steps:

You may want to review your hosts file for entries other than the localhost. If you make changes to your local host file, please be sure to flush the dns to avoid connection issues.

Are you using a proxy? The default for a proxy is to let the localhost bypass the proxy. The connection to the local host can be terminated as well.

As I said before, when I restart the FF, everything is fine. No proxy, no any custom network configuration. I'm using FF as default installation except "www.com" configuration.

In your internet settings on the computer, do you 'ignore proxy settings for these hosts and domains' (exceptions are separated by a comma) and is the local host listed here?
