Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8888.

After I got some references included I get most of the time:

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8888.

How can I fix that?

be more verbose

try both "localhost:8888" and "127.0.0.1:8888" as "localhost" is most of the case != 127.0.0.1 (do you read me, Worst-developer? ;)
which version of freenet so you use - 0.5 or 0.7?
what exact build?
what do you mean with "references"? references is a reserved word for a text passage describing a a node identity, do you mean that or just a http://localhost:8888/***@YYY-link?
did you start your node at all?
is port 8888 maybe used by a different program?

Same result!

Got now the time slot to login:
Freenet 0.7 Build #1009 r11515M
Freenet-ext Build #9 r11062
I added 13 peers where 2 are connected and the rest are disconnected,
one of them has Version 1007

It started alone (isn't it a service?)
I also tried to stop and start the node, but had no influence.

did you start your node at all?

how did you add them? via the web-frontend? or via TCMI?

depends on operating system and whether you run it manually or as a service, therefore i asked

How can I verify that?

0) read the log for errors, usually there should be something if the node can't start. if you don't find anything:
1) shut down the node, be sure it isn't running
2.1) open a "cmd" console
2.2) type"netstat -a -n"
2.3) search for a line with either "TCP 127.0.0.1:8888 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING" or "TCP 127.0.0.1:9481 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING"
2.4) if one of these lines exists and your node is not running, then this port is used by a different program and therefore the node can't start
3) then you can either:
3a) stop or remove the other program
3b) change the ports of the other program
3c) change the ports of the freenet node
4) also you can try to start the node nevertheless and perform step 2 to see if the ports are now taken by the node. the node uses both ports, so if they are both taken (after a node start without errors (see the log)), freenet should be running

Why would localhost != 127.0.0.1?

try both "localhost:8888" and "127.0.0.1:8888" as "localhost" is most of =

the case !=3D 127.0.0.1 (do you read me, Worst-developer? ;)
Why would localhost !=3D 127.0.0.1?

for me "localhost" is "192.168.2.1", my inferface's IP
and 127.0.0.1 is only "virtual loopback" without a "real" inferface

and if it binds to 192.168.2.1 (localhost) it's (of course and correctly) not accessible at 127.0.0.1 and vice versa

you can bind to three interfaces:
- localhost
- loopback
- (all)
which all three indicate different interfaces
