Chances are you are not running Apache, so what you observed is normal
behavior.

Are you running a local web server on port tcp/80/443, otherwise
why connection to localhost? You need a server like apache,
nginx, or whatever web server listening on 80/443 for a browser to
find a webpage on localhost, which is your system. Otherwise the
browser won't find a socket to connect to let alone a web page,
which is what it's telling you.
## this will show you anything listening locally on http|https
ports and what app did it
sudo ss -tpl | grep http
## try to connect if you think you should see an open socket from
above, below fails
[~]# telnet 127.0.0.1 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
No active firewall right?
If you wanted to you can limit host access to bind external
sockets like 80/443, or whatever to only 127.0.0.0/8
<http://127.0.0.0/8> meaning only local processes can access
sockets, not even someone on your local lan. This is a security
practice in application cases for high-speed caching or
inter-process communications local to this system only.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try

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

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
