I know this is a quite old question but just for the same problem, which appeared suddenly. This was due to an issue in the PHP code, and nothing due to Apache configuration.

I checked the file /var/log/apache2/error.log (Under Linux, I do not know the path for Windows/Mac), which gave me an indication:

[Sat Jun 20 21:49:06.444684 2015] [:error] [pid 24149] [client 127.0.0.1:59150] PHP Fatal error: Can't use method return value in write context in /docs/Cedric/Programmation/PHP/slnslv/src/SLN/RegisterBundle/Controller/MemberController.php on line 80, referer: http://localhost/slnslv/web/

Fixing the error in PHP with this indication magically solved the problem.

No idea however how a simple PHP error can cause a segmentation fault, which can make the browser (Firefox) thing it should guess a correct domain name.
