I can confirm that this is how Firefox behaves for me on Hardy. When in offline mode, firefox will not connect to a local http server whether trying localhost, 127.0.0.1 or any other name/ip that resolves to local machine.

I'm not entirely sure whether this is a bug or simply the way it should behave though.
