User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: Need to send a request to 127.0.0.1 from https page for internal system request. Actual results: Requests to localhost are blocked from https:// pages because of Mixed content warnings Expected results: There's no need to block localhost as there's no way to MitM local requests. No blocking should happen
This will be fixed with Firefox 55.
