LocalLink doesn't work for me.  Still shows security message when trying
to view web page http://localhost/
 
Windows Server 2003
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.4
 
Is there an easier way to allow viewing/navigating my localhost?

This is not a local link: it's a remote URL which happens to point to
localhost.

A local link would be of the form:
file://localhost/etc

Hi Michael,
 
I tried that as that's what I thought, but it doesn't load anything--
just blank.   I'm using Firefox's latest browser version.
 
Any ideas? For example, I don't want to be restricted to using IE for
my local development testing.  URL's such as
http://localhost:123/index.aspx don't work in firefox for me.
 
Thank you for your time.
 
Jason

2.0.0.4. People might argue hether this is the latest ;)

I'm still confused. Which of the following are you trying:

A) accessing a web page by going to the URL http://localhost:123/index.aspx

B) following a link which is contained in the web page served from
http://localhost:123/index.aspx

A) has nothing to do with "local links".

B) might have to with local links if the link which you're trying to
follow begins with "file://".

If you simply want to view files on your local hard disk then use "Open
file" from the file menu. It will also show you the url that your
browser expects.
