I'm working with a partner who is trying to run their automated tests on firefox. They are currently using the --unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure flag on chrome to run their tests on non-localhost http. When trying to get firefox running they are running into the problem that this site uses StorageManager, but there is no way to enable it on non-localhost http.

Would it be possible to add a pref to enable insecure access to StorageManager? Similar to the dom.serviceWorkers.testing.enabled pref.

Or would it make sense to implement a global SecureContext testing flag similar to what chrome provides? This would remove testing friction from future APIs as well.

:asuth pointed me to dom.securecontext.whitelist pref.
