Hello,

im running FF 3.6.18 on Ubuntu (64bit, 32bit) and im not able to connect to any domain ending in .local (for example: apple.fruits.local). Name resolution is working, prefetching and fixup is disabled. Using FF on windows works without a problem with the same domain name - only in Linux it fails.

Hi!

Thats quite simpel:

.local domains belong to the zeroconf system ( linux: avahi, apple: bonjour, windows: zeroconf) - so if you enter a www.dummy.local than the request is not forwarded to the DNS server it is forwarded to the MDNS and in many networks simply not resolvable.

Turn of the avahi, bonjour or zeroconf service or daemon and it will work again

I have the same problem on FF 7.0.1, it appeared on FF 6. Previous versions had no problem.

Well, I tried disabling avahi, no difference. It shouldn't be avahi related anyway, I only have this problem with firefox. Chromium, opera, epiphany can all recognize .local domains woth no problem. So could older firefox versions.
