Incorrect browser url on start, http://[::1]:37373

I get a failed connection on opening a markdown doc with my default browser (Firefox) trying to open to http://[::1]:37373 If I change the address to localhost:37373, I get the correct preview pane. Any idea on what to look for to fix this?

Have a workaround. It looks like the default /etc/hosts on my linux box has

::1 localhost

in it. And that was getting picked up instead of the previous line

127.0.0.1 localhost

Some sort of precedence ordering. If I comment out the IPV6 style entry in /etc/hosts, the browser opens straightway on the correct 128.0.0.1:port page

The plugin opens ipv6 link for me too (http://[::1]:42849/), but it works just fine in Chromium.

I have had problems with this exact issue, and I found that the proxy settings, in particular no_proxy, have an effect on this.

If you have no proxy set up at all, then this might not be an issue for you though.
