When opening the Logs tab on the dashboard, you might see this error:

ERROR Stashed service seems down. Please check https://github.com/playscale/stashed.io/wiki/Firefox

To communicate with Stashed service, the Dashboard uses HTTPS which requires a valid certificate from the service. Stashed installer will add a valid Playscale certificate to the machine local certificate store, which makes it work automatically with most browsers.

The problem is that Firefox does not consider certificates installed in the Windows Certificate Store by default.

There are 2 options to fix this.

Option 1 (recommended): Enable enterprise roots

This will enable all certificates coming from the machine local certificate store, which is the default on other browsers.

Steps

  • Open the URL about:config
  • Accept the risk...
  • Search for security.enterprise_roots.enabled
  • Enable it
  • Restart Firefox
  • http://localhost:39080 should connect properly

Option 2: Import Playscale certificate to Firefox store

This will only enable Playscale certificate. The downside is that you might need to manually update/remove the certificate when updating/uninstalling Stashed.

Steps

  • Open the URL about:preferences#privacy
  • Scroll all the way down, click View Certificates
  • Select the Authorities tab
  • Import C:\Program Files\Stashed\share\certs\playscale.crt
  • Tick Trust this CA to identify websites
  • OK
  • http://localhost:39080 should connect properly
