Do you have a proxy in firefox?

You do know that this is a linux newsgroup not a mac newsgroup?

On linux the place which tells the resolver which places to look for ip
addresses is in /etc/nsswitch.conf. It may also be there in Mac OS.
hosts:           mdns4_minimal files nis dns mdns4
The important ones are the "files" which tells it to use /etc/hosts, and
the dns, whichtells it to go out to the dns server in /etc/resolv.conf.

Choosing a Subject that has something to do with your question, is
always a good start.  I've suggested an appropriate change.

This web search <https://ixquick.com/do/search?q=apache+mac+osx> looks
useful; the very first non-sponsored item I see is "Using Apache and PHP
on MacOS X - Dev Articles"
<www.devarticles.com/c/a/Apache/Using-Apache-and-PHP-on-Mac-OS-X/>

If you want to run Unix or Linux open source software on a Mac, look at
"Fink" <http://www.finkproject.org/>.  But OS X apparently comes with
Apache already installed, in Apple-ish form.

And it is a good suggestion.  :-)
