Any idea why it is not recording when i am running my application please?My login application displays an html login page.

Answer 1

This is because in your firefox settings you have set in No proxy for:

• localhost

As below:

So to fix it, just remove from "No proxy for" the localhost or 127.0.0.1

Answer 2

Use a port number other than :8080 . For example you can use :2020
