I am using Uubntu 16.04, with Apache2 (version 2.4) on my local personal laptop for development purpose.
I have added a virtual host (hehe) under sites-enabled directory.
Since I have added it, I have troubles accessing http://localhost from Firefox but not Chrome.
In Chrome, when accessing http://localhost I get the root web directory correctly and http://hehe brings me to the new virtualhost directory.
In Firefox accessing http://localhost brings me ALSO to the /hehe directory of the virtualhost.
Attached are the two files. Very strange, but it must be something in my virtualhost configuration.
000-default.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /home/xxx/myprojects/web
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost>

Any idea how I can have both localhost and a virtualhost ??

Don't do that:
It's not doing the thing you are intending, but can cause hard-ish problems on future apache restarts (it introduces dependency on name resolution). It's very rarely used due to contrived implications.
You can and should declare a duplicate clause:
