I think that it is Windows as host system and Ubuntu as guest container.
Firefox is on the host and connects to host port 5000.

The missing part is probably something that make guest port 5000
visable on the host.

Meanwhile check inside the container flask. Do something like
  wget http://localhost:5000
or
  nc localhost 5000
