Am I looking in the wrong place?
 
It means you are stopping a jail that wasn't running. After you start a jail have a look with jls(8).
 
What's the proper way of running an application from within the jail such that it would be on the host screen?
I.e firefox3.
Would I need to use X11 forwarding and if so, what's the best tutorial for me to follow?
 
Any application that run inside of a jail can only be seen on the jail's console, not on the hosts console. Each jail is like a seperate install of freebsd. To run firefox3 inside of a jail you have to install x11 and some desktop in that jail first.
 
Code: 
testjail# /usr/local/bin/xfdesktop -- : 1

(xfdesktop:48072): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
testjail#
