Hi there.
I have just upgraded my PC to win 7 (new install) and firefox 3.6 will not connect to the sabnzbd localhost. Using the same URL in IE8 allows for a connection. Is there a plugin or option that SABNZBD requires for firefox - i used it successfully in XP/Firefox.
My other computer upgraded ok but it is 250 kms away.
Appreciate any thoughts.
Phill.
BTW - Sabnzbd Ver 0.5.3. Firefox 3.6.6

Very likely an IPV6 versus IPv4 problem. Browsers sometimes get confused about what "localhost" means.
Try to use one of these addresses in Firefox:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd
http://[::1]:8080/sabnzbd
This is assuming you actually use port 8080.

thanx for that - the 2nd option works in firefox - http://[::1]:8080/sabnzbd.
i am not used to IPv6 as yet... however, it doesnt explain why two PCs - both running Win 7 and Firefox give different results - unless the "successful" pc being a lot older may have different IP technologies used.
phill.

localhost and ipv4 vs. ipv6 is a mess on many systems in combination with some browsers.
On most systems localhost is ambiguous and each browser makes its own choice.
