http router issue
After the most recent update of FF on Mac OS Sequoia, suddenly I am no longer able to login to either of my routers, because they require http and FF keeps forcing https.
This results in no login gui but instead an ‘unable to connect’ error message.
I have researched and tried every conceivable fix and nothing works (settings, about:config, cookies, cache, all of it.
I would have expected that simply adding exceptions in settings would work, but it simply doesn’t.
I can login via Safari, so this is clearly a FF issue. It even happens in Safe Mode.
Kind of at my wits end. Anyone have a fix.

Additional information: I tried FF on another Mac on my network and I was able to load the gui, so there's definitely something borked on my copy of FF.
I just tried a Refresh and that did not work. http is still being forced to https.

I think you're running into Mac OS Sequoia's firewall blocking Firefox from the internet. Read this article: Firefox blocked by macOS 15 Sequoia firewall - What you need to know

Thanks for the input, but I'm able to use FF with no issue on Sequoia. Turning off the firewall did nothing.
The problem remains that FF is forcing my router addresses to https with no way to override to http - and I cannot login to the router using https - in fact when I attempted to set one of my routers to use https it became impossible to login and I had to do a reset that cost several hours of my time.
I've searched for all manner of 'fixes' and none of them work. I did a Refresh of FF but it made no difference.
Yes, I can still login to my routers using Safari, but FF is my preferred browser and it makes no sense to me that one day it worked and the next it absolutely fails after a update.
Oh wow. I totally see what you mean now. Sorry for missing that!
I'm going to see if there's a bug filed for that because no one would expect a local network site to your router to have a SSL certificate.
This bug matches and has a workaround in comment 18: Cannot access local network sites in macOS Sequoia https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1919889#c18
I hope it helps. This is a seriously strange issue I was not expecting to see.

No worries, appreciate the help!

I tried the workaround but unfortunately it hasn't seemed to help; I quit and restarted FF after setting the exception in Sequoia. Haven't tried rebooting the Mac yet but I doubt that will make any difference.
On the plus side FF 131.0 now seems to not be forcing https, but I'm still getting the same error message. Security tab mentions encryption - not sure if that's where the problem lies.
Considering there are millions of routers that require http://192.168.1.1 this seems like it should be fixable without compromising browser security.
