Firefox won't process etc/hosts entries with .localhost reserved TLD, but works with other entries with fake TLD
I'm hosting a server locally on my desktop, and created an etc/hosts entry to assign it a URL so that I could use TLS certificates. The URL is `docs.user.localhost` and firefox will not load the page. However, as soon as I change the etc/hosts entry to `docs.user.localsite` or just `docs.user`, everything loads correctly. Is there a setting I need to toggle to allow for loading sites with reserved local TLD's? I've been going through a couple suggested by various sites, but there either already set correctly or don't fix the issue.
