I'm having trouble accessing my local network devices with http
Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble accessing my local network devices (a 3D printer and Raspberry Pi) using short hostnames like "http://impressora3d" or "http://impressora3d/". Firefox keeps blocking the connection with the "Looks like there’s a problem with this site" error page.
I've captured a network log using 'about:networking' and I can see that: 1. DNS resolution works perfectly and points to my local IP:
"CompleteLookup: impressora3d has 192.168.1.10"
2. Firefox is upgrading the request to HTTPS (port 443) automatically:
"nsSocketTransport::ResolveHost [...] impressora3d:443" -> "pushing io layer [0:ssl]"
3. The device rejects it because it only listens on HTTP (port 80):
"Bad Socket 804b000d" (NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED)
What I have already tried: - Disabled "HTTPS-Only Mode" entirely in settings. - Checked "Secure DNS" (DoH) settings (set to Increased Protection and added exceptions). - Cleared history and used "Forget about this site" on the hostname. - Typed "http://" explicitly.
Firefox still refuses to connect via plain HTTP (port 80). Is there any hidden 'about:config' preference or HSTS cache forcing this behavior for local unformatted domains?
Thank you!

Could you attach a screenshot of the error incl. any "advanced" sections expanded? Thanks.
When you access just the IP it works as expected?
If you force the :80 port http://impressora3d:80 do you get the same, anything else, or something like "record too long" error etc.?
Are you able to open http://httpforever.com/ …?
(Normally I'd suspect an antivirus/security software force upgrading that, but I don't think you have one installed on your macOS — which macOS version it is BTW?)
