I have a local React repo running in localhost:3000. When I open mozilla and write the address and hit Enter, mozilla prompts a popup that say "Choose an aplication to open the localhost link". So it's not possible open localhost. Then I set the "System Handler" option and it didn't work at all. Then I look for the binary from mozilla to add it and it didn't work.

So.... How to fix this to open localhost and why is this happening?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I think that Firefox is assuming that localhost: is a protocol handler. (like steam: and ftp:).

I am not aware how it has decided to do this, or how to solve it directly, but you may have success adding an http:// before it, or by using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.
