Joseph, |

Let me put it in really simple terms: |
| 14 |
1) Firefox is NOT a database client, it can NOT connect to a database |
| 15 |
2) Firefox IS a webbrowser, it ONLY connects to a webserver |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
This means, Postgresql will NOT see ANY connection made by Firefox. |
| 18 |

The website you have running ON TOP OFF apache makes the connection to |
| 20 |
Postgresql. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Eg. it goes like the following: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
User <-> Firefox <-> Apache/website <-> Postgresql |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Any of the above can ONLY see their immediate neighbour. |
