I have lots of IoT devices - including file servers. Many of these have vendor-installed self-signed certificates. (I'm looking at you pfSense, Netgear, etc.) [At least pfSense has some hooks to deal with certificates, other platforms have nada.]
Anyway, Chrome and now Firefox have entered a stupid race-to-nannyism in which a) they do not honor a setting to *not* try to upgrade everything to HTTPS and b) refuse to accept self-signed certificates.
Firefox has a setting in about:config (dom.block_download_insecure) to allow some bypass but this seems to have no effect.
Anyway, now I am down to Safari as the only mainstream browser I have that can interact with my IoT devices that have self-signed certificates.
Grrrrr.
