Thank you.

I normally see you when I lurk on a.home.repair, so
it is nice to see you here.

I saw that article titled major bug, firefox ignores
the hosts file. It was confusing because to people it
seemed Firefox was caching an old dns but they closed
the thread before anyone summarized the correct solution.

I found something similar he
At what point does Firefox read/reread the hosts file?

That file talks about the setting "network.dnsCacheExpiration".
