Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

No, the issue is not there when I do this.

Thanks for your help. After I removed the extension DuckDuckGo essential that I installed long time ago was causing the problem. I removed it and everything works fine.

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.

I think you did not understand what was my issue. The issue is that the sites having only http in url are redirected to https and show the security risk warning. Sites having https in url are loading properly.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

That was very good work. Well Done.

When will this bug be fixed. I can't get to the site http://reversebeacon.net/ It keeps putting HTTPS. I want to get to the site but Firefox won't let me! This is nerve wracking!

The crazy thing is, I never thought I'd have to use Microsoft Edge to view the site http://reversebeacon.net/ but that's what I have to do now.

Hi Roland, NK2U

No problem with accessing reversebeacon.net via the HTTP protocol, even with HTTPS-Only enabled Firefox allows to continue with HTTP.. If Firefox switches to HTTPS and refuses to use HTTP then you either have an extension or security software forcing a secure connection.

OK, I did not realize that there was a new option to turn off HTTPS. I found it and turned it off, now everything is great! Thanks!
