I have been using Firefox for quite some time, and works always great.

But since I installed a self singed certificate on my own domain server, Firefox wont access the normal HTTP sites, and only wants to connect to HTTPS.

lets say i have a website on http://www.domain.com, but Firefox wont even try to connect to and immediately tries to connect to https://www.domain.com and says unable to connect which is obvious because i don't host that on HTTPS. This problem in for my all my subdomains.

First I thought i messed something up with my self build websites but Google Chrome and even Internet Explorer work just fine, so it cant be my websites.

I dont seem to be able to figure out how to solve this. and is rather annoying.

Can somebody point me in the right direction.

hello, you might have sent a strict-transports-security flag on your domain in the past. you could use the https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/force-tls/ addon to clear that again.

Only one problem with the plugin. Everytime I restart firefox I have to go to the addon setting and configure it, is there a way to make it save the settings?

Is that about plugins or extensions?

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
