Running test with Nightwatch in Firefox fails to connect to Selenium server

I'm trying to do an automated testing for a website using Nightwatch.js and I'm on macOS High Sierra. So I started testing using the Selenium Standalone Server as said in the documentation. The chrome testing works good and I have no problem with it. But I can't seem to make the Firefox testing work, I've been testing and searching online for a fix but I gave up because none of the solutions I found worked. Here's is my nightwatch.json configuration file.

{
    "src_folders": [
        "test"
    ],
    "output_folder": "reports",
    "custom_commands_path": "",
    "custom_assertions_path": "",
    "page_objects_path": "",
    "globals_path": "",
    "selenium": {
        "start_process": true,
        "server_path": "./bin/selenium-server-standalone-3.13.0.jar",
        "log_path": "",
        "port": 4444,
        "cli_args": {
            "webdriver.chrome.driver": "./bin/chromedriver",
            "webdriver.gecko.driver": "./bin/geckodriver",
            "webdriver.firefox.profile": "nightwatch"
        }
    },
    "test_settings": {
        "default": {
            "launch_url": "https://www.google.com",
            "selenium_port": 4444,
            "selenium_host": "127.0.0.1",
            "default_path_prefix": "",
            "silent": true,
            "screenshots": {
                "enabled": false,
                "path": ""
            },
            "desiredCapabilities": {
                "browserName": "firefox",
                "javascriptEnabled": true,
                "acceptSslCerts": true,
                "marionette": true
            }
        },
        "chrome": {
            "desiredCapabilities": {
                "browserName": "chrome",
                "chromeOptions": {
                    "args": [
                        "--load-extension=/Users/jackch/Downloads/chrome, --url-base=/wd/hub"
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

And then when I run nightwatch -e --verbose in the terminal, I get the same error Error retrieving a new session from the selenium server Connection refused! Is selenium server started?. I tried many things:

1) I started geckodriver in a separate terminal on the default port 4444, and here are the logs from geckodriver: 

2018-07-23 12:09:03.432 plugin-container[27769:6329668] *** CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1100 (0x44c) 'Permission denied', port = 0x7903, name = 'com.apple.tsm.portname'

See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes.

2) Then I tried to change the port of geckodriver, because I thought they may intefere since both Selenium and gecko choose the 4444 port, but nothing changed.

3) I tried to launch the Selenium server alone and then linking it. Which mean that I set the "start_process" to false in the nightwatch.json. And I still didn't manage to make it work.

Here is the complete message after I run nightwatch -e --verbose:

    Starting selenium server... started - PID:  28112
