User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1 Build ID: 20120614114901 Steps to reproduce: Access "localhost" and have the server-side shut the connection unexpectedly. You want to trigger "The Connection Was Reset" message. Actual results: URL bar changes unexpectedly (and wrongly) Before reset: http://localhost:8080 After reset: http://www.localhost.com:8080 Expected results: URL shouldn't have changed. I think Firefox should treat "localhost" as special and not go ahead and try to resolve it to a .com domain when things go wrong. This makes debugging a webapp incredibly annoying.
Dupe of Bug 150025.
thanks Loic
