Enable IIS localhost for Firefox

When your IIS authentication settings are not set to basic, browsers other than IE can actually stop you from accessing the running localhost on IIS.
Here's a simple workaound to this problem -
1. In Firefox type about:config in the addressbar
2. Find the preference named network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris
3. Enter the value 'localhost' for this preference
4. Now try again

voilla!
