I have a Angular 6 app hosted behind a reverse proxy in IIS. 

I'm unable to launch the app in iframe using firefox but can do so using chrome.

I've been using the URL Rewrite Module.

I can't talk about Chrome but Firefox has, and has had for quite some time, a bug where it fails to recognise new content on some pages and uses it's cache instead. Just restarting the browser achieves nothing. You have to clear the browser cache completely. In some web apps I have to append a random or timestamped string to the URL in order to get FF to always reload some pages. The relevant meta tags in the header are very often also ignored by FF.

<rewrite> 

 <rules>
   <rule name="Redirect to HTTPS" stopProcessing="true">
     <match url="(.*)" />
     <conditions>
       <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="^OFF$" />
     </conditions>
     <action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
   </rule>
 </rules>
