There is a bug in Firefox (at least, my version in Ubuntu) in which not having an internet connection sets the browser to "Offline" mode. In that case, even the local notebook will not work. If this is what is happening, you just need to go to the File menu and uncheck "Work Offline" if it is checked. Then the local notebook works fine for me.
