Maybe Moz doesn't like IPv6?
Remove localhost from this line in /etc/hosts
::1 ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
I think that can help.
Brilliant, Stefan! Where should I go to read up on this sort of thing (ie how did you find out about it?)? I can now go to bed happy that a niggling, though non-essential, query has been resolved. You have done your good deed for the day - thanks!
Actually I think one of these lists answered the same question for a Netscape 4.X user about a year ago, so I can not take all the credit for this one ;-). It was a wild guess it would also work for Mozilla...

When using a laptop away from a network I can only connect to localhost if I put a net card in the slot -- no idea why -- but just might be elevant Cheers Francesco
