Firefox Blocks 0.0.0.0 IP Addresses: Tell Us What This Means To You!

I didn't even realize 0.0.0.0 was a valid address to enter into a browser! TIL.
-
What is the use case for 0.0.0.0
-
Just in case you want to do nothing, nowhere in particular.
-
0.0.0.0 binds to all addresses on the machine for servers, but I don't know what a browser would do when trying to resolve it. I guess look at all addresses on the machine and see if anything has bound to the indicated port on that address? First one it finds wins?

I just wish they'd stop blocking http requests on lan addresses honestly.
Thanks for the suggestions. While I was investigating I ended up looking and had a proxy issue. Obviously a problem on my part.
-
Pretty sure you have an addon doing that, because Firefox doesn't.
-
Firefox Developer with no addons
-
-
Do you have standard Firefox with default options that does this? This has not been my experience.
You could try out with a new profile if it works out the same.
-
I just tried to use the Developer version. With no addons.
-
-
Could you share a link for me to read up more on this?
-
I was trying to use the Firefox Developer version. Just straight up refused.

-
Fine by me. I self-host a lot of stuff but never used 0.0.0.0 for browsing, so I just disabled it here to try it out.
-
Shit I used it access the interdimensional cable TV.
-
The linked blog post explains about the vulnerability, I thought it was quite interesting.
-
seriously. I like the federation but people way overuse the spoiler tag or nsfw or whatever. I usually skip over but had to vent. Oh uh. ankle in this one. better make sure no one gets fired over it.

Did you mean to comment on this post? It's not showing as NSFW to me
-
It shows an 18+ tag for me too, and the image is blurred. I assume it's because of our host software. I'm on kbin.melroy.org (Mbin), and the original commenter is on moist.catsweat.com (also Mbin).

wrong post?
-
curiously someone asked me about it but before I could answer as it was my overnight a whole chain went up with folks that solved the mystery. Its something that for some reason is not showing between lemmy and mbin. So mbin users should (not) see it while presumably lemmy users will not realize the tag is there. Honestly I would like mbin to allow me to ignore the tag but apparently saying show nsfw just means the feed will show but it does the tag thing. Don't get me wrong I would use it but only if users kept to to blocking just completely graphic stuff. I would rather see the graphic stuff than the rediculously mild stuff that gets blured. Maybe its mbin users with the dainty feelings.
