When working with things like switches, routers, printers, and other random embedded gadgets, they often need to be rebooted. This obviously puts them offline briefly, which can result in attempting to reload an unreachable HTTP server.
Firefox tries to be clever, and switches to HTTPS, which is usually OK. But often these sorts of internal use only devices are set up with HTTPS disabled, so this also fails. Firefox then presents the user with a "Try again" button on the resulting error page... Which is very useful... Except that it tries the HTTPS connection again, not the address the user actually entered.
Could we get this fixed. It's very annoying.
Edit: I'm using the Linux Mint supplied version of 128.0, in case anything has already been changed regarding this issue.
