I've installed Firefox on my iPhone 6 and am trying to browse to an https web page with a locally signed certificate. It is my own web site and I'm happy with this, so I want to add this site as a security "exception" so that I may connect to it from my iPhone. Where in the IOS version of Firefox do I enable the exception for my web site so that I may browse to it?

Because every app on iOS has to use the underlying rendering engine used in Safari, I'm guessing that you need to add the cert the same way as in Safari. Email yourself the cert, and open it from with an iOS app, like Mail.

I found more info at https://blog.httpwatch.com/2013/12/12/five-tips-for-using-self-signed-ssl-certificates-with-ios/ but I haven't tried it for myself.
