Research direction
Investigate how Firefox manages trusted certificates on Windows. Look at the mkcert source code to see how it currently supports other browsers (e.g., Chrome, Edge). Check the existing comments in the issue for any pointers. Consider using Firefox's certutil or native additions. Implement a function that adds the generated root certificate to Firefox's certificate store on Windows, similar to the existing approach for other browsers.
