Using Self-Signed Certificate for localhost testing?

I'm a web development student doing a class in MongoDB, mongoose, node.js. We are being walked through https and SSL(or whatever they are calling it this week) by creating a self-signed certificate through OpenSSL that will allow us to use the localhost to test our authentication schemes (user vs admin having proper access to different endpoints of the router). How to do this in Firefox. Even the advanced button on the error page doesn't seem to allow me to bypass and "take the risk" anymore like it used to. Thanks for help.
