[ubuntu-uk] Strange problem with Firefox in 15.04 and later ...

[Barry Drake]

Hi ....  Any pointer for me in trying to solve a problem. When I attemp 
to install the Symform cloud software,  on 15.04, when it makes a call 
to 127.0.0.1:59234 to register the user, Firefox comes up with a "Unable 
to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 
127.0.0.1:59234"

In 14.04, it does the job properly, and gets to the Symform login page.  
I've tried other browsers, and done enough testing to determine that 
this is a problem in the Ubuntu infrastructure, and not in the browser.  
Any thoughts on how this might be resolved?  I think I might be able to 
use a workaround, and register using 14.04, them grab the registration 
information from that place, but I really want to find out what is 
happening.  The entire Linux version of Symform is written in bash shell 
scripts, so I've been able to check through those.  I can ping 127.0.0.1 
and get no problem, so it has to be down to some change in Ubuntu itself.

Regards,        Barry.
