Hi there.

Since quite a while Firefox is trying to enhance our browsing security by "upgrading" connections from "http" to "https." This may generally be a good idea, but it is literally driving me crazy at the moment because it also does so for "internal" sites I host within my LAN (such as my "Home Assistant" instance or a Zigbee coordinator, accessible via its own hostname and web UI). However, these connections will fail, because I don't have certificates for my internal hosts, and thus there is no "https" listener. :-(

(I use my own subdomain "<host>.city.internal.example.org" internally, so Firefox may be confused?)

I feel this behavior has become "more aggressive" within the last few days, so maybe it is due to a Firefox update?

Is there a bullet-proof way to prevent Firefox from doing so?

I've already set the below options to false: - dom.security.https_first - dom.security.https_first_for_custom_ports - dom.security.https_first_for_local_addresses - dom.security.https_first_for_unknown_suffixes - dom.security.https_first_pbm - dom.security.https_first_schemeless - dom.security.https_only_mode - dom.security.https_only_mode.upgrade_local - dom.security.https_only_mode_pbm

Help, please!

I'm close to abandoning Firefox in favor of a different browser, because at the moment it's close to being unusable for me anymore... :-(

Kind regards,

Ralf

Recently I set up mTLS on my admin endpoint. I tried entering it as an API on the other website, and in Firefox it wouldn't work. But if I'd try to access endpoint directly it would work, and even save my certificate choice. In Chrome, everything works just fine with both direct and API access. It is not a problem of a website, nor the problem of the OPTIONS preflight, since both of those are configured correctly on my nginx.

I am trying to login to email service tuta.com. Due to malicious actors, the site is being blocked by Firefox when it should NOT be. Malicious actors have made false reports to create a DDOS on Tuta. When I try to connect to the site I get this message: "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue"

How do I tell Firefox to stop blocking this site as there is NOT a security issue.

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to dinajpureducationboard.gov.bd. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

My mobile package site shows mixed-content warnings on Firefox — how can I fix this? Hello everyone, I run a website, which provides information about mobile phone prices and SIM packages in Bangladesh. Recently, I noticed that when users visit some pages in Firefox, the browser shows a “mixed-content” warning or blocks certain scripts. The same pages load fine in Chrome. All my URLs use HTTPS, and I’m using a LiteSpeed server with Cloudflare CDN. Could this issue be related to how Firefox handles external resources (like embedded operator banners or analytics scripts)? What’s the best way to debug and fix mixed-content problems in Firefox Developer Tools? Any detailed guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
