Do a "netstat -l", you should see this line:

tcp        0      0 localhost:8888         *:* LISTEN      

If the service is really running.

Do a "telnet localhost 8888"
That should connect to the service if it's running.

Mozilla can be weird when doing things like this.  If you have any
proxies configured this will have to be set for noproxy, or turn off
proxies.
