It's actually working. Your data is being received, but you're currently waiting for a new line to print your received messages:

while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println("Server: " + inputLine);
    out.println(inputLine);

    if (inputLine.equals("Bye.")) {
        break;
    }
}

Which currently only happens when you close the socket. Just add a new line at the end of your messages and it will work as expected:

var tcpSocket = Cc["@mozilla.org/tcp-socket;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsIDOMTCPSocket);
var socket    = tcpSocket.open("127.0.0.1", 5000);

function sendMessage(msg){
    socket.send(msg + "\n");
}

setTimeout(function(){
    sendMessage("hi mark");
},3000);

setTimeout(function(){
    sendMessage("hi johnny");
},5000);
