Thanks for the suggestion! As I don't have any physical device myself, I looked briefly at how to debug a virtual device with genymotion and remote debugging. Unfortunately I didn't succeed at getting any output from SkipCertError. I'll try again when I get a chance, but unless I get help, or there is sufficient demands, I don't plan to port SkipCertError to mobile in the short term. Sorry.

Firefox for Android provides different objects like BrowserApp, and I'm not sure TabsProgressListener is available
the UI is different, regarding notifications and preferences especially
