This has nothing to do with your webserver.
Check http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_any_website .
There are many things that could go wrong in this case. My best bet is to check your proxy or firewall settings.
UPDATE:
Antivirus programs interfere with firewall and security settings, so you might take a look into that... Make sure the port that Apache is running is not blocked by your firewall. Go to the firewall settings and make sure that Apache (or HTTP port number used by Apache) is not blocked

In windows if you installed apache you have to start your apache service first then go throw your Firefox or other browser simply type local host then you can access your server.
