stop firefox warnings about unsafe websites that are in development
Hi, I work daily on websites for development. Over the years the amount of clicks to get to my so called "insecure" sites have increased to a point where it becomes truly annoying. I would like a plugin where I can "register" my localhost urls and my development urls so I do not need 4 clicks just to reach(!) them every time I work on them. I have searched high and low for such an "option" or "setting" but cannot find it. Please help me!

Why force HTTPS on localhost?

That sounds more like the site certificate is out dated to cause that.
There is no certificate, the development is done is on my localhost.
This is an HTTP page or an HTTPS page? What are the extra clicks -- can you describe what you have to do?
I have found that Firefox provides no solution and have moved on to Chrome for development. I can start Chrome using "--ignore-certificate-errors" which saves me many clicks and frustrations.
jscher2000, for every site on my development server (localhost) that I visit and work on, I have to choose between "Go Back (Recommended)" and "Advanced" and if I choose Advanced I have to choose again between "Go Back (Recommanded)" and "Accept the Risk and Continue" and then I have click the url to get there. If I'm lucky. If I'm not, I will get another warning. And I tend to be in a hurry and click the blue button because it is more noticeable :-(
I work on several shops and sites during the day. For every shop I have at least 6 clicks (3 for frontend and 3 for backend) to go through that I'd rather spend on other more useful things.
It is plain annoying after a while so I'd love a plugin where I can just register for instance all *.local urls (or all urls that end on .local) to be "save" or something of that matter. But I haven't found such a plugin yet...

Because development should be a "copy" of live (even though db is stripped) and this is how we quickly setup & deploy a development environment. I could change all urls (and I sometimes do) but with every sync I have to do it again.
