Bypass the "SecurityError" when using a remotely hosted web-app in Firefox

When using a remotely-hosted web application using "HTTPS":

Firefox does not allow insecure web socket connections by default.  

A workaround for Firefox is to change an internal configuration within the browser.
Please do so at your own risk, and note that Firefox warns this may void your warranty and can cause other unwanted or unexpected behavior.

Follow the instructions below:
  1. Open up FireFox
  2. In the URL, type in "about:config"
  3. A warning screen will appear. Click the "accept" button to proceed.
  4. Using the search text box, search for "insecure"
  5. Locate the option "network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS"
  6. Toggle this option to "true"

Toggling this option to true should allow insecure web socket connections when using a web-application hosted remotely using HTTPS.
