I am writing a webserver and testing that with firefox, connection is https secure and I have dummy CA and hence untrusted warning popup, which is fine for my tests. Now on one the page , I have an iframe which access the webserver but on a different port , I am expecting that iframe should popup a warning for untrusted certificate , user will accept and connection proceed, but this is not happening , Any idea ? I added sandbox=allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allowuntrusted all of these in iframe still no and my fieforx is version 32
