To proper use in your system is recommended to import certs/rootCA-DEVCERT.crt to certificate storage, after that, all generated certificates will be marked as trusted and you get "green" lock icon. Firefox has own certificates storage system, you must import this directly to Firefox to make generated certificates trusted.
