Firefox can't connect to my local weather station at "http://192.168.33.11:8998/gauges.html" but chrome works just fine.

This is the error message I get:

The connection has timed out -- The server at 192.168.32.11 is taking too long to respond.

Well, I finally got this working. I was trying to use an imported bookmark (from Chrome) to reach my weather station and even though the URL looked perfect, it wouldn't work until I edited the bookmark and re-typed the exact same text.

Kinda weird but there must have been some sort of corruption during the import process.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

^ Note that this is about local pages, so you won't be able to access this device via internet.

  • ... can't connect to my local weather station ...

It is possible that Firefox blocks this port.
