detail
If I run @axe-core/cli with --browser firefox, --show-errors in an environment that requires a certificate under a proxy,
I get the following error.
(No error is output when using Chrome and Edge.)

Motivation: Because I need to evaluate web pages by @axe-core/cli using Firefox in an environment that requires certificates under proxy.
axe-core version: 4.4.3
@axe-core/cli: 4.4.3
- Node version: v16.13.1
- Platform: Windows 10 Pro 21H2 , Firefox
Assumption of cause :
Unlike Chrome and Edge, Firefox references its own configuration file for certificates. The current cli does not seem to have a mechanism to reference that configuration file.

How to fix :
This error was resolved by changing the code in @axe-core/cli to use the Firefox profile (cert9.db).
We tried the following in the environment at hand and confirmed that it works properly.
- Import the certificate in the Firefox browser.
- Store Firefox profile (
cert9.db) in an arbitrary folder (e.g.C:/work/profile). - add the following to
