    HTTP works fine in Firefox unless you set it to HTTPS only. Even then, you only have to click off a warning to open an HTTP site.

      But if you try to load a local resource as localhost in Firefox…

      For the sake of completeness:

      Firefox contains a security patch which restricts the kinds of files that pages can load (and methods of loading) when you open them from a file:// URL. This change was made to prevent exfiltration of valuable data within reach of a local page, as demonstrated in an available exploit.

      Insecure, but fast fix, if you don’t want to install a local webserver:

      about:config
      security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy
      change to false
