I cannot currently access https://thesaker.is/ as they are under DOS attack. When I try to access the HTTP sight, firefox is automatically changing what I type, adds the S, and then it cannot connect. Please make it stop "protecting" me. Please respond to to wayne@nano-dyne for any emailed notice as checking bonin006 is inconvenient

Thanks, Wayne Bonin

I am able to get to the HTTP version fine after checking to Not enable HTTPS Only Mode. Another option is to click the Manage Exceptions button and add http://thesaker.is to the list so even if's selected it wont go to the HTTPS version.

You might also check about:config and make sure dom.security.https_only_mode is being set to false.

Thanks, Mark I was able to connect to the http site earlier, but that seems to down also now (not due to anything related to FireFox)
