I have firefox for Linux and I want to be able to access a specific http website pretty much without any security restrictions from firefox at all (it is a trusted website), however whenever I try to add it to exceptions like this: http://<website>, it automatically becomes added as https://<website>. What can be done?

It sounds like you are creating an exception in the Tracking Protection section which won't affect your ability to access insecure HTTP sites.

You probably want to create an HTTPS-Only Mode exception.
