That generates a self-signed cert (and matching key) for your server.

Those are different cases.

If you import to Firefox the self-signed server cert created above 
then it will trust a server using that cert.

If you generate a self-signed (root) CA cert & key, and use those 
to sign (issue) another cert or certs such as one for your server, 
and import the CA cert to Firefox, then a server using any cert 
under that CA is trusted.

Pick one.
