This is a linux only issue. The problem is in DNS which does not allow the labels in a name to begin or end in -. 

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1035.html
2.3.1. Preferred name syntax

Seems that Windows DNS does allow the lookup but Linux does not. On Linux (tested Fedora and Ubuntu) this is not specific to Firefox but will fail with other network utilities like ping etc.
