Let's enable the feature that automatically imports the Microsoft Family Safety root for accounts that are in child mode. This will affect Windows 8.1 only.

Enabling this feature should make https sites work in Firefox on Windows 8.1 for
user accounts where Microsoft Family Safety features have been enabled (whereas
previously Firefox would show a connection untrusted error page).

Verified as fixed on the latest Nightly 50.0a1 (Build ID: 20160705030222) - the "security.family_safety.mode =2" preference is present by default on all platforms, but enables the detection of the Family Safety root on a child account only on Windows 8.1.
