I agree with Peter, it is best you don't disable what is after all a security 
warning mechanism.  

In Firefox you are not able to add an exception if you use a Private window 
(Ctrl+Shift+P).  Otherwise you should be able to.  Alternatively, have you 
tried adding an exception to the server certificate manually as suggested by 
Peter?

You can:

Add your self-signed server certificate in your Server certificates seamonkey 
tab.  Updating the seamonkey version ought to retain any certificates you have 
uploaded there.  You can also set an exception in the Server's tab.  If you do 
not have the server certificate already on your filesystem, you can obtain it 
with:

 openssl s_client -connect www.google.com:443 -showcerts

(replace www.google.com with your server of course).  

Or, you can try adding it in the RootCA tab and edit its trust there.
