Description of problem: New netinstall, up to date repo Firefox 102.8.0esr Will no longer allow http connections calling: http://~wilcal/ is forced to https://~wilcal/ then fails to connect.
Looks like the last live media does the same thing
Did you already check the basic settings? If your private/local site doesn't support secure connections, you need to make an exemption for your site: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/https-only-prefs#firefox:linux:fx102

(In reply to William Kenney from comment #3) > The http Firefox connection has worked for years ( decades actually ) Luckily we are in the 21st century now and https is the standard. There are discussions ongoing to make browser automatically redirect from unsecure http to https by default. So earlier or later you need to make an exemption for your unsecure site...
There is a Firefox Preferences setting that looks relevant: Privacy & Security, right at the end: HTTPS-only mode: - Enable HTTPS-only mode in all windows - Enable HTTPS-only mode in private windows - Do not enable HTTPS-only mode I set the last, but will keep an eye out for HTTP/HTTPS URL conversion.

If the good behaviour sticks, can you close?

(In reply to Lewis Smith from comment #6) Many thanks for your quick help QA meeting starts in 30 min and this is already on the agenda > If the problem recurs, can you sound out other ISO testers? > If the good behaviour sticks, can you close? http may be old but there's still sites out there not using https If there's a preference that needs to be changed that's fine for me but how about other people?
