[API] Problem connecting using Firefox
Added by Peter Amstutz over 9 years ago.

Description
Firefox 31+ increased SSL certificate checking in a way that seems to silently break on our self-signed development/test certificates. (I thought this was due to MD5 but on further investigation the certs are using either SHA1 or SHA256.)
Figure out what is causing this and adjust certificate generation to fix it.
^^^ This is wrong.

As far as I can tell, the problem is simply that Firefox has gotten in its head that connections to localhost:3001 should go into a black hole. Here's the workaround:
cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default
mv cert8.db cert8.db.old

Since we have a workaround I'm going to mark this as resolved.
- Status changed from New to Resolved
