Thanks for the suggestion. I have not tried to download the "Skip Cert
Error" add-on. I will try it later since it may need some modification to
use on Firefox Android 38.

However, as it is said that "SkipCertError turns on the expert_bad_cert
built-in preference", I guess it might not work because I hacked browser.js
to always turn on "Add permanent exception". However, Firefox still did not
accept my self-signed certificate and kept saying the untrusted connection.

Best regards,
Duke
