Disable HTTPS fallback

Hello,

I often use my Firefox for Android to connect to IoT devices with embedded HTTP web portal which don't have HTTPS enabled. If the device doesn't respond in time the browser automatically redirects to HTTPS version due to browser.fixup.fallback-to-https set to true by default so I cannot simply click Retry without modifying the url. This is extremely annoying. The about:config is not available in Android version so I cannot change this setting.

What should I do?

You can use a Nightly build on Android to have access to about:config.
