My Firefox browser will only open websites starting with "https". What is preventing my browser to open a non-secure (http) website ? Please help!!
I have checked my Firewall settings and added Mozilla Firefox to the list of programs accepted. I have also uninstalled Firefox & reinstalled it twice. I have turned off my antivirus & I still can't open a non-secure browser.

Some users have reported issues with avast. Disable it and try again.

What does it bring up when you load a http site, can you add a screenshot?

What security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some firewalls can block secure connections, so you may have to check the advanced rules for the Firefox application.
Thank you, thank you, thank you FredMcD!! It was my AVAST anti-virus software. I had the "Web Shield" turned on, so all I did was turn it OFF, so now I can browse on the Internet on any website. When you first install Avast anti-virus, the Web Shield by default is turned on. This really should be turned off as not to freak out new users, especially by those that are not computer savvy. I cannot thank you enough! Take care. :-D
