I just did a little googling, and it appears that Firefox supports group policy settings that can cause it to use system root certs[1], so if it's not working, it may be because the domain administrators haven't bothered to support it.

Indeed, but I also count that as a support ticket!

Well, I would counter that if you want to use a new application (Firefox) with the local server, there should probably be a support ticket to at least ask if they believe it should function correctly.

While you probably can assume Firefox will mostly work, there's decades of history saying you probably shouldn't, given the state of enterprise web apps. To be safe, I wouldn't assume Firefox would work any better than lynx for an internal app if neither are listed as supported (and the same goes for every browser).
