Latest FireFox 4 Add-on and Livereload not working on OSX #77

Closed hkarthik closed 13 years ago

hkarthik commented 13 years ago

When launching livereload from the command line, it seems to start on port 35729 and wait for a browser to connect. Any changes that I make to files are detected and showing up in the output window.

However, the FireFox 4 addon isn't able to connect. I've confirmed that Web Sockets is enabled (both the network.websocket.override-security-block and network.websocket.enabled settings are set to 'true').

The message I get in the popup is: Cannot connect to LiveReload server: ws://localhost:35729/websocket

Any ideas? Could it be some kind of network issue with OSX?

I fixed the problem. Turned out to be related to the default setting in Firefox 4 to use "System Proxy settings". I found this after noticing this in the error log.

Error: Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. Source File: chrome://livereload/content/background.js Line: 145

A quick look at the Network Settings for Firefox 4 revealed that it was setup to use System Proxy settings. When I changed this to No Proxy, LiveReload started to work.

Hope this information helps anyone else that might be having this problem.

Im having the same issue with livereload (v2 alpha 4) and Firefox 5 but the suggested workaround unforntunately doesn't solve the problem.
