I am trying to connect to a .local website, and LibreWolf says it can’t connect to server (one of the worst UX error pages I’ve seen). Google and DDG are of no help, and I do not want to resort to using another browser for something that should be simple to disable.
I have added my domain to network.dns.localDomains and that did not appear to work. I have “DNS over HTTPS” disabled completely. I do not know what else to try.
Please help.

Did you install librewolf via flatpak? Flatpak applications may have difficulty connecting to *.local domains due to sandboxing.
Did you add Firefox to System Settings | Privacy & Security | Local Network?
Yeah unfortunately that didn’t change anything. I enabled it, and restarted LibreWolf and it still won’t connect. Thing is, it keeps trying to upgrade the connection to HTTPS, so I disabled HTTPS-Only Mode and that won’t even work. I’m open to other suggestions.
Have you tried another browser to confirm it’s a browser issue and nothing else? I assume yes but you didn’t specify so just want to make sure
- Try
ping mediacenter.localto see if your system DNS resolver can resolve the address - Try
curl -v mediacenter.localto see if the web server actually responds with HTTP data on port 80
