Localhost problems with Safari

Updated to OSX 10.14.6 and Safari 13.1.2, and now when I turn on MAMP and try to go to http://localhost I get a cannot connect error. 

Chrome and Firefox work just fine. I've gone through a couple of dozen fixes suggested by various forums but the only thing that will work is to use http://127.0.0.1

 

I don't think I am the only one in the community that has run into this problem. Any ideas?

The problem can only be solved by changing the local host pointer in the site definitions to HTTP://127.0.0.1

 

Localhost is broken.

If this only happens in Safari, that means your version of Safari is broken; not DW and not MAMP localhost.

What does your config of MAMP look like?  I just tested my local server and the localhost address works fine for me. MAMP 5.7, Apache, default ports, PHP 7.4.2.  I am also using OSX 10.15.6.  Could this be an OS specific issue with that version?

Nothing changed. MAMP 5.7, 80 & 3306, PHP 7.,3.0, Apache. I have tried all settings, Safari is the only browser that won't work. I even rolled back a couple of versions of MAMP. Localhost will not work in Safari, I cannot 

 

I am not running Catalina because my primary job is video and motion picture production and visual effects and I still have software that I depend on that is not 100% compatible with Catalina. 

 

I found a workaround. I changed the testing server link to  http://127.0.0.1/myFolderPath in all of my site definitions. I have to use http://127.0.0.1/phpMyAdmin/?lang=en to get to phpMyAdmin in Safari. Apple screwed something up. I even tried a XAMPP. Localhost is just not working at all in Safari. 

 

I'm not happy with how Dreamweaver is working either. See this thread: PHP previews are a mess - What is going on

I just found out that editing your post is broken in the forum on all browsers. This is all you get:
