I installed firefox on macbook. firefox version: 113.02 Initially, everything was fine, but after 1-2 days, firefox automatically forwarded http to https. I didn't install any add-ons. Then I had to refresh firefox by using the option in Help--More Troubshooting information. After refreshing firefox, everything was back to normal and I was able to access http website, but after 1-2 days, firefox automatically forwarded http to https again. Once again, I didn't install any add-ons. please help. thanks!
