Why does localhost page not show only in Firefox

Every time I try to open the page 'http://localhost' in my FF, all I get is a blank, white page. I tried this with two different local server programs XAMPP and WAMPServer. Both give the same result, a blank, white page. Apache and MySQL, which those local servers provide, work perfectly fine. I can access that page only if I type in 'https://localhost' or the IP '127.0.0.1'. But IE, Opera and Chrome have no problem showing the page the normal way. Could you please tell me what my problem is? I tried to find something in other forums and asked as well in a forum for XAMPP? But they couldn't help me. I changed my hosts file and also tried to disable IPv6 but that didn't help. The servers are both working perfectly fine, there were no error messages when I installed them. I also tried to disable the firewall and see if that would be the mistake but that didn't help either.
Here maybe some information you would need to analyse the problem: I use WIN7 Home Premium 64 bit, XAMPP version 1.7.3 and Firefox version 3.6.10
Thank you very much for all your efforts
Jonny

If you're working where there are proxies and Firefox is set to use the ''System Settings'', then go to the '''Control Panel (Windows-XP)'''> '''Internet Properties'''> '''Connections (tab)'''> '''LAN settings'''. In the '''Proxy server''' section click the '''Advanced ''' button. Add localhost to the Exceptions section.

    Sometimes it even move slower then i Scroll?
    I use a Mac and i have tried to reinstall the program.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.

  • Why does my iPad not show up in manage storage?

    Why does my iPad not show up in manage storage?

    Don't understand your question - "manage storage"? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to connect to your computer? Are you trying to free up some storage space?
    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • Why does Local Folders not show up when I install Thunderbird on certain computers?

    I've installed Thunderbird on my computer and it looks normal with "Local Folders" showing up in the left pane. I didn't add an email account, I just installed Thunderbird and an add-on called ImportExport tool and left it with only Local Folders. But when I try to do the same thing and install it on someone else's computer to help them import an .mbox file, when I install Thunderbird on their computer, "Local Folders" is not there. The left pane is just completely blank. And it looks like I can't import an .mbox file without it being there. I tried installing it on another laptop too and the same thing happened with no Local Folders. Why is "Local Folders" not showing up for these other two computers?

    I circumvented the problem by copying the c:\users\username\appdata\local\thunderbird folder and the c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder from my working PC to the nonworking computers, and Local Folders appeared in Thunderbird on those computers. It seems like these files aren't being generated properly on installation.
    I tried uninstalling Thunderbird from my working PC and reinstalling it again to see what would happen (after also deleting those two appdata folders so that fresh ones would be created), and this time Local Folders did not appear on my PC as well. I don't think I did anything different during installation either. So I'm not sure why the Local Folders are no longer being generated at installation.

  • Why does Premiere Pro not show in the Creative Cloud

    I just bought the montly membership, paid, got the confirmation, but still Premiere Pro does not show in my Creative Cloud options - under audio/video it only shows  and Photoshop, Prelude and Audition.
    When I use the link in the email confirmation that I received I can press 'getting started'.
    This leads me to the online Creative Cload Download - when I scroll to Premiere Pro, click on download I go to the next page, but still the program does not show?
    What should I do differently? I am logged in already.
    Please help me!

    Do you have a 64-bit machine?  Normally the listing will only include programs that your machine is capable of running.  Check your machine capabilities against the requirements for Premiere Pro and see if it comes up short.

  • Why does Windows 7 not show up in System Preference's "Startup Disk"

    Why does Windows 7, installed via Boot Camp, show up when you hold down the option key when booting but the drive does not show up in System Preferences under the Startup Disk icon.
    As an aside Windows 7 runs perfectly on my MacBook.
    - Mike

    Now I found I'm not alone. My situation is similar but not exactly the same.
    I recently switched from the white MacBook to latest mac mini, tried installing XP Pro not successful for some reasons then tried Win7 (build 7000). On my old macbook this worked perfectly.
    Got win7 updated and picked win7 as startup disk in windows, used that for few days without going back to leopard. On just one occasion I booted with 'alt' key pressed (using a PC keyboard) I have choices of drives so I thought everything was fine. As soon as I booted into leopard I found no win7 partition in system>preference>startup disk, OMG I couldn't boot back to win7 since then. From that point onwards the 'alt' key didn't work for me. Every time only leopard can be booted.
    What can I do now?
    Why it was OK in macbook but didn't work on mini? Is it worth investing on a mac external keyboard just to get the 'option' key?

  • Why does the iTunes not show "Photos"

    Why does the new iTunes not show "Photos" after it is synced, and why does iCloud not show Photos also?

    Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion.  But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
    Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu).  Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
    If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

    Hi,
    I qoute from Adobe Help page:
    If you plan to develop dynamic pages, Dreamweaver needs the services of a testing server to generate and display dynamic content while you work. ...here is the link:
