Firefox keeps changing http://localnode:8080 to http://localnode.com8080/. How do I change this?

Question

I just installed Ubuntu 12.04. On version 11 it was doing this, but now it has changed. I am a ham radio operator and I am trying to use the wrt54g Linksys router for digital communications.

I think if I read correctly he taged firefox... hmm – Meintjes May 10 '13 at 13:53 — Meintjes, May 10 '13 at 13:53

You need to define localnode as 127.0.0.1 in your DNS or in your hosts file (/etc/hosts). Your browser is trying localnode.com because it can't find localnode. Or use http://localhost:8080
