A few hours ago I went on Amazon to preview a song and noticed some strange behaviors. After I got the site to work the way I wanted, I saw that Adblock Plus blocked several requests to localhost made by the website.
That's definitely not the sort of thing I want to be coming across on the Internet, nor have I seen that on Amazon before. Does it mean Amazon has gotten hacked? (My computer came out clean in a full system scan by Symantec, so I'm assuming that if there was malware, my browser setup blocked it.)

No, it looked like my Adblock Plus filters to block loopback acccess did the job. And sadly SeaMonkey users are stuck with the old Error Console system

OK, so it's not a hack after all.
Went back there today in a VM, and it looks like those connections are just part of their music app (called Morpho) which I do not have installed.
Unless I've overlooked something, I think we can mark this as resolved?
