HTTPS is not recognized

more options

I have noticed that HTTP bookmarks are not compatible with the HTTPS. If I have old URLS's it is not recognized HTTPS as the same URL. If you have 10.000 bookmarks it is time consuming to add them again as usually it is HTTPS due to Google restrictions.

I'm not quite sure I got the question, but you can use HTTPS Everywhere, which forces Firefox to use HTTPS automatically.

I'm not sure what you mean by "not compatible."

Most sites that prefer you to use HTTPS will redirect a request from the HTTP address to the HTTPS address.

But it sounds as though you want to update your old bookmarks? That's quite a chore!

Yes, exactly: you want to update your old bookmarks

I have to manually add HTTPS even there is HTTP.

It is a lot of work to edit bookmarks by hand.

However, I'm not sure I trust automated tools to do it well because of course many sites do not work correctly if you change HTTP to HTTPS (for example, they do not have their own certificate so you get a certificate error, or they have hardcoded HTTP addresses in the HTML so you get mixed content errors).

It would be handy if when you land on an HTTPS page that you do not have bookmarked with the HTTPS protocol, Firefox could tell you that you do have that identical address bookmarked with the HTTP protocol so you can update it. Maybe an add-on could be developed to do that if it doesn't already exist.
