if you point to a https:// page but your server isn't serving any ssl
protected content, that error thrown by firefox will stand no matter what.
normal setups don't take the port into account: in production, for http
urls the port is always 80 and for https:// the port is 443. If you want
that to work, you should set your server to reply on port 80 with normal
content, and with port 443 the protected one.
You can't serve on port 8000 both normal and ssl protected content.
