The developer server certificate validates localhost as the domain. You'll get this browser waring when browsing by an IP address or a different domain.

You did not share the console application error or code which makes it difficult to provide an accurate solution.

Hi @Erum Mirza as far as I know, if you just use the httpclient factory library to access the web api, it will not show the firefox security issue. Do you use some firefox browser dll inside this console application to make the request?
