It means FireFox could visit https://whatever.localhost https://whatever.localhost without SSL warnings for self-signed certs. It has no bearing on cURL. cURL is maintained by Daniel Stenberg (an open source legend), whereas FireFox is maintained by Mozilla. Completely separate. This is like asking if Tesla's new car policy will affect your Toyota.
- aorth 6y agoI was curious about this because the release notes don't mention changing the behavior of HTTPS for localhost. I set up a local test and http://mytest.localhost http://mytest.localhost works without having to add an entry to /etc/hosts, but https://mytest.localhost https://mytest.localhost with a self-signed TLS certificate will still raise a SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER error. You still need to ignore those or install your own root CA with something like https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert for that to work seamlessly.
