FF mistakenly says no https

I've got FF set for https-only. But sometimes it will tell me no https is available but when I go to the site anyway it is https.

Is this a bug or is this something in my settings?

Using Mozilla Firefox 108.0 for Ubuntu canonical 1.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.

Thanks.

There can possibly be multiple redirects on the server that temporarily redirect to http:// website, but eventually end up with a secure HTTPS page. This can happen if you do not type the full URL including protocol and possible prefixes.

You can possibly check this in the Network Monitor and enable the persist feature.
