Hi lists!

We need to add a website that is listening on a non-default port (but uses
HTTPS) as an exception in the Firefox cert manager. In the servers TAB we
can only add it as temporary, though we can add a self-signed HTTPS website
listening on port 443 to it.. WHY?

Why can't we add an HTTPS cert permanently to Firefox when it is on a
non-default port?

Thanks for any help..

Have a nice day!
