My browsers refuse to address https://localhost/
they keep changing to https://localhost:8888/

Are you saying that if I did all this they would not, and the galleries would work properly?

And what do you mean by re-setup my WordPress environment?

Actually, to complicate matters, I think even with JQuery Lightbox disabled NextGen is showing other galleries images with Lightbox set in nextgen other options (though not with Fancybox set).

I’m getting terminally fed up with NextGen and WordPress. I’ve spent so long on this…

No. I tried but couldn’t persuade any browser to ignore the :8888
Also all the addressing in NextGen is to localhost:8888

Searches returning non wordpress results (which you would want if you had legacy html pages in your site) behave like this. They don’t work.

I found it… set the document root in MAMP preferences… ie the folder where the WP site is.
