Joseph, Let me put it in really simple terms: 1) Firefox is NOT a database client, it can NOT connect to a database 2) Firefox IS a webbrowser, it ONLY connects to a webserver This means, Postgresql will NOT see ANY connection made by Firefox. The website you have running ON TOP OFF apache makes the connection to Postgresql. Eg. it goes like the following: User <-> Firefox <-> Apache/website <-> Postgresql Any of the above can ONLY see their immediate neighbour. -- Joost
