Greetings

I have an internal application running on a private LAN IP. Is there a way to have Firefox treat that IP as safe in the same way as localhost?

I have tried a number of options but FF appears to be suppressing scripts on the client.

Thank you.

Do you mean you're running a webserver on a host on the local LAN. I do
that: what's the problem?

What do you mean by 'safe'. In what way does your Firefox treat a local
IP address differently?

By 'scripts on the client' do you mean scripts within the pages served
by your local host, or what?

What OS and version of Firefox?

According to Mozilla:
"Locally-delivered resources such as those with http://127.0.0.1 URLs, http://localhost and http://*.localhost URLs (e.g. http://dev.whatever.localhost/), and file:// URLs are also considered to have been delivered securely."

But does "being considered delivered securely" have any impact on
whether a page can run scripts? I don't think so, any site (even
without TLS) can run scripts

Is your script trying to do anything "special"?

Something in Enhanced Tracking Protection maybe.
I don't remember doing anything special so that my devices with local
addresses (such as the web interface of my router) can run scripts in
Firefox, and they can and do.

OK. You're trying to avoid using https?
