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. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
