You often are on a network when you are running linux: try to ping
127.0.0.1, then you'll be convinced. There is even a working name
resolution: try to see what IP addres is assigned to 'localhost'.

This is extremely frustrating, as that is the
last thing you think of if you do a demo on your local machine and it
is also not so good to try and impress a client and the first thing
they see is an error message.

You should just make the Firefox home page either a lank page or
http://localhost/ (if a web server is set up) or file:/// as last
choice.
