How do I generate a valid SSL certificate for my website for free? Also, how do I install it to a page on my website?

Firefox doesn't like self-signed websites though, it gives users all sorts of hoops to jump through.

Browsers will give a warning the first time you access a site with a self-signed certificate. But once you create and exception then there is no warning. I do this for webservers that I want to access via HTTPS but are not public websites.
