I quite often do development work on the train, and disable wifi on my laptop. When I've done this, I quite often have to refresh a localhost domain several times before Firefox loads it correctly. It will either say it can't connect, or will load the page without any CSS. A further refresh will work, but this process always continues. Works fine in Chrome.

I'd appreciate any pointers to fixing this! Thanks
