Details

(Keywords: good-first-bug, Whiteboard: [domsecurity-backlog1][lang=JS] )

Within Bug 1705340 we wrote tests for .onion but not for localhost. Mostly because localhost handling on TreeHerder seems not straightforward.

Severity: -- → S4
Blocks: 1921214
No longer blocks: https-first-mode

By now we have plenty of tests targeting localhost so there should be nothing preventing adding one.

The expected behavior is based on dom.security.https_first_for_local_addresses, if it's set to false we should not attempt to upgrade, if it's true we should.
