That's Firefox and Chiron working on Vista, straight from the bits on 
http://codeplex.com/sdlsdk.

Firefox on Windows ships with network.dns.disableIPv6 set to "false". Make sure 
that's the setting you have (type about:config in the address bar). If it's set 
to "true", Chiron won't get the request. (Actually, if you start ANOTHER 
Chiron, that one will get the request =P).

This bug will be fixed sometime today/tomorrow in sdlsdk; I'll let you guys 
know when that happens.

To understand the bug a little more, Chiron currently tries to listen on IPv6 
first, and if that fails it then tries to listen on IPv4. While that's a fine 
solution for Vista/XP/Mac, as well as browsers that are tied to their operating 
system's network settings (IE, Safari), it's a problem for browsers that 
support both in some configurable manner (Firefox). The new behavior is to 
listen on both IPv6 and IPv4 when it can, but not fail if IPv6 fails. This will 
work on both IPv6/v4 operating systems (so Vista/XP/Mac will both work), as 
well as v4/v6 configurable browsers (Firefox), no matter what their settings.

Along other Chiron news, I'm also planning on removing the "only works on 
localhost" constraint. I don't think it'll be difficult, but I just need to 
find hacking time. =) I find it useful because I'd like to do development on 
one machine and browser to it with another machine, especially if I'm testing 
different browsers. Would others find it useful as well?

Can you use firefox at all with Chiron? I never got firefox to work
with Chiron on Vista.
