That's because of the certificate mismatch (only www.mozdev.org is 
allowed) but you can change the following code in nsExtensionManager.js 
to make it work:

   confirmMismatchDomain: function(socketInfo, targetURL, cert) {
     LOG("EM BadCertHandler: Mismatched domain");
     return false;
   },

All you have to do is to change the (boolean) "false" to "true" and 
you're done for your testing ;)
