By forcing HTTPS and sticking to it, even if you specify "http".

And then helpfully "remembering" your "choice".

I fight with FF over this crap on average a couple of times a week.

A poor craftsman blames his tools.

Again: You open the history sidebar (Ctrl-H), or the history manager (Ctrl-Shift-H), find and select the offending site, right-click it and select Forget About This Site..., and afterwards you open it only once by explicitly specifying the http: scheme, FF will remember your choice and subsequently you can open it without it.

If you guys would spend half as much time on actually trying to solve problems as you do on this pointless ranting, you may just end up with lower blood pressure and live longer and, most importantly, happier. It took me all of one minute to figure this out, once I understood what was happening. OK one and a half, two, tops; and only because I created a fresh profile to test the procedure - you are welcome BTW. And I have posted this further up already. If that does not fix the issue, report a bug, instead of polluting public forums with your foulmouthed ranting, which only serves to frustrate you and others while leaving Mozilla totally oblivious to the fact there might, just might, be an issue. It's a new feature after all, and I bet, you guys are the loud minority complaining about it while the vast majority welcomes it, me included.

Or switch to a different browser if you hate FF that much. Or just do you, I don't care. But be prepared to be ridiculed, if you keep this up. With this all being said, ever so redundantly, we come to the weather report: still unchanged.

Stop here

OK, please, let's just bring an end to this thread, and to this style of discussion. We can do better.
