Dear Maintainer,

I was browsing http://status.stratum0.org/status.json, and I wanted to switch
over to the HTTPS version of the site (which gives a security warning, but
nevertheless, HTTPS works). When prepending the URL in the address bar with
"https://" and pressing Enter, the HTTP version is loaded though. When I delete
that URL from my browser history and try again, it works and the HTTPS version
is loaded.

Apparently, this only affects URLs which are entered manually into the adress
bar, and end in a file name, at least I could not reproduce it with:

* http://status.stratum0.org
* http://rohieb.name
* http://rohieb.name/stuff/
* http://www.amazon.com
* http://www.google.de/
* http://www.gmx.net/presse/

But it is reproducible on the following pages:
* http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51rcs86cppL._SL135_.jpg
* http://rohieb.name/favicon.ico
* http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html
* http://www.google.de/favicon.ico
* http://www.gmx.net/presse/index.html

However I also found one URL which does not trigger the bug:
* http://res1.windows.microsoft.com/resbox/en/Windows%207/main/4300ae64-546c-4bbe-9026-6779b3684fb9_74.png

So I'm a bit puzzled what is the pattern here.

Hi,

I was bitten by this bug several times already, but it seems it is
gone in current aurora (Firefox 18).

According to the Mozilla bug
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781617 it seems that it
was fixed in FF17.

src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
