It looks like VMWare Tools (or Windows?) realizes the URL is local and opens Firefox inside the VM instead of Firefox outside the VM.

Does anyone have a workaround for this? I'd really like to not have to use Firefox inside the VM. It would be nice if the KVS tool opened the URL directly, instead of using a level of redirection.
