I've been using the Firefox Beta for Android for a while now, and just recently I've noticed that I am unable to load intranet sites. If I attempt to access a site via machine name, it just sits and eventually times out. It seems like FF is trying to add "http://www." before and ".com" after the web server's name. Even if I manually specify the address as "http://[server]". This was working fine up until a few weeks ago, so apparently something changed recently. I've checked the app settings and I can't seem to find anything about intranet settings. Is there any fix for this?

Hi Davel23,

Thank you for your question and apologies for the delay. There is an issue with loading intranet sites. Is this the intranet for your internal domain or for the general internet? Please check if it is an issue with Firefox Connections: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection > Settings 

or disable domain guessing Domain Guessing


To test your hypothesis about adding www in front of the intranet sites, if you can reproduce this in debugging mode for mobile it would be a great help. Tools Debugger To turn on Android debugger:

  1. Open about:config to change settings. Search for “debugger” and
  2. toggle devtools.debugger.force-local to false
  3. toggle devtools.debugger.remote-enabled to true

[bugzilla.mozilla.org] is where bugs are reported. Please post back and we can help further investigate.

Turning off domain guessing only causes the page load to fail immediately, no timeouts. I can access the page via its IP address, but I am able to access resources on that machine from my same mobile device using other apps (ES File Explorer for example) via its name, so I doubt it's a DNS issue.

I've enabled the debugger settings as specified above, what do I need to do now?
