the browser shows the error as:
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a

If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy,
make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I need to specify a port. Cool. That's all I needed to know.

Regarding the original question of why the browser is saying
"problem with address", what is the actual error? Name
resolution, connection, cert, etc etc? Those friendly human
readable errors leave too much open to interpretation.

The IP address range *127.0.**0.0 – 127.255.**255.255* is
reserved for loopback, i.e. a Host's self-address, also known
as localhost address. This loopback IP address is managed
entirely by and within the operating system.
Thanks,

The local loopback mechanism may be used to run a network
service on a host without requiring a physical network...

you need to specify the port number

Are the addresses for localhost 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1 ?
That was a rhetorical question. What isn't rhetorical is
why, when I enter either of those addresses into a browser
, do I get a 'problem with address' page? Are there
