Released Nov 6, 2017 - 8.92 KBWorks with firefox 57.0a1 and later, android 57.0a1 to 68.*Bugfix for 0.4 (WebExtensions); Don't redirect to HTTPS when the request is not likely a result of an explicit navigation from a typed URL:
- Do not redirect to HTTPS upon resuming a discarded tab.
- Do not redirect to HTTPS upon page reload
NOTE: If the site does not support HTTPS, edit the URL and change "https" to "http" again to navigate to http. Or add the domain to the exception list at the add-on settings page.Source code released under MIT License
Version 0.4
Released Nov 6, 2017 - 8.33 KBWorks with firefox 57.0a1 and later, android 57.0a1 to 68.*WebExtensions version.
New:
- Do not use HTTPS by default for dotless domains (e.g. localhost), IP addresses and reserved top-level domains (RFC 2606).
- HTTPS by default can be disabled for specific domains at the add-on's preference page.
- HTTPS by default is enforced for all non-web-triggered navigations (i.e. navigations initiated from the address bar and bookmarks), even if you explicitly added "http:" in front of the URL. If the site does not support HTTPS, edit the URL and change "https" to "http" again to navigate to http. Or add the domain to the exception list at the add-on settings page.Source code released under MIT License
