This is a localhost issue only viewing from any other machine with firefox works correctly.

The first question is - does Internet Explorer works fine in cases 4-5?

Yes IE8 works correctly so does Chrome and Safari. My coworker noticed it first he was having problems getting jquery working on his own test server and I wasn't I was using 127.0.0.1 and he was using the name of his machine. We tried it in all other browsers we had installed(IE8, chrome, and safari.) Sure enough I tried my machines name in place of 127.0.0.1 and had the same jquery issue.(I think it would do the same for other external from the page, javascript loaded pages) It might be on how ff processes "<script src=" is my best guess.

There is a ipv6 bug floating around that I wonder if could be relevant..

Ok I'm no longer sure this is a firefox bug it might be an old apache bug that had been fixed. My coworker installed xampp 1.8.1 and the problems went away for him.

I'm sure if I upgrade like him it will go away. Weird that other browsers didn't have a problem with my setup.
