I'm using wamp 2.2 with php 5.4.3. I tried to enter localhost in firefox. But it keeps loading and loading. The wamp icon is green.
Note: It was working few days ago.

Have you looked at the 'Apache error log' and the 'php error log'.

Yes, i found the following error in apache error log.

(OS 10038)An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. :winnt_accept: getsocketname error on listening socket, is IPv6 available?

I tried to change port to 8080,8383...etc but it is also not loading like port 80.

And php error log is empty.

Open a command prompt as Administrator

Run
>netsh winsock reset

Reboot if necessary

Try apache again

Finally solved the problem.
If you ever get the following error while executing

netsh winsock reset

The following helper DLL cannot be loaded: WSHELPER.DLL
The following command was not found: winsock reset

It means that your pc is badly attacked by trojans. Scan full system with an antivirus to confirm.
Removing virus is the only way to solve this issue.
