### Windows and Firefox `mkcert -install` additional instructions

The `mkcert -install` step on Windows does not work for the Firefox browser.
You need to add the created root certficate authority to the security
configuration by your self:

- Run `mkcert -install` (you can use the shortcut from the start menu for that)
- Run `mkcert -CAROOT` to see the local folder used for the newly created root
certificate authority
- Open the Firefox settings
- Enter `certificates` into the search box on the top
- Click to `Show certificates...`
- Select the tab `Certificate authorities`
- Click to `Import...`
- Go to the folder where your root certificate authority was stored
- Select the file `rootCA-key.pem`
- Click to `Open`

You should now see your CA under `mkcert development CA`.
