Description

Attachment: Screenshot from 2020-11-20 23-14-10.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/87.0.4280.66 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open firefox
2. Start the glassfish server with deployed app war
3. After the application has been started go to the website and type the URL "localhost:8080/app_name"
4. Enter after writing the URL
5. Now the system doesn't redirect to the request page which is seen on other browsers

Actual results:

The system opened up a popup as it asked program to select for opening a localhost link. In preferences I saw localhost as application and cannot remove it with option selected "always ask" on localhost content-type.

Expected results:

The result/response of URL called show be shown as it was seen in previous version.

You can open the link by using http://localhost:8080/app_name instead.
