Ubuntu 14.04 - Firefox browser refuses to obey /etc/hosts I have an entry in /etc/hosts pointing to a public internet IP which doesn't already have a DNS hostname associated.
Following advice from this post: http://askubuntu.com/questions/117899 /configure-dnsmasq-to-use-etc-hosts-file I added/edited this file on my system: /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/hosts.conf Adding the following line: addn-hosts=/etc/hosts After restarting network-manager, nslookup and dig both respond with the IP address configured in /etc/hosts as I would expect. Firefox still refuses to obey the host entry. Even after a system reboot. Even when dnsmasq is returning a result for command line DNS lookup tools. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993298 Title: Please make NetworkManager-controlled dnsmasq respect /etc/hosts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/993298/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
