Please try with global addresses.  Else, in mozilla, you'd have to specify 
the scope for link-local addresses -- no idea how that is done.

Better test this with 'telnet' to port 80 first.

This kind of "double-bind" may or may not work depending on your 
compilation options.  By default, Listening to :: opens up IPv4 equivalent 
(0.0.0.0) automatically through mapped addresses.
