I found the solution for some strange reason FF was adding .com to
localhost. So the url was http://localhost.com:8888/. I didn't notice
this initially but once I did I tried some things and the guys in the
#python channel in freenode suggested to use the loopback address. So I
entered 127.0.0.1:8888 and that worked.
