As Julian Yon already pointed out, you can not connect to localhost over
Tor.

You can either directly connect to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) with Tor
Browser or you can connect to your local webserver over Tor using a
hidden service.

Just set up a hidden service for your local webserver. Of course you can
access your own hidden domain with Tor Browser. The outgoing Tor
connection doesn't mind coming back again from the Tor network as hidden
service connection.
