How to add a security exception to Firefox programmatically?

We have a self-signed certificate assigned to a local web server hosted on localhost to enable SSL connection. It works for other browsers such as Chrome on Windows/IOS, Safari for IOS, and IE for Windows. But Firefox (version 53.0.X) complains it's not trusted because it's self signed. It also works by adding a security exception through Firefox certificate manager. Is there any way to do that programmatically so that this process can be automated for better user experience? Can you please point out a direction or links for this?

Thank you,

Thank you for the reply. I understand that the problem is caused by Firefox uses its own certificate store rather than Windows root CA store. By setting Firefox preference "security.enterprise_roots.enabled" to true will allow Firefox to trust all certs from Windows root CA. But it'll make all cert from Windows root CA to be trusted. Is it possible to trust only selected cert from Windows root CA?
