Comment(by pgkool):

 while playing around with this bug more, it has been noticed that this is
 caused by the prefrences setting for the homepage.

 My homepage is set to "http://www.google.com" and this causes firefox to
 open up with the HTTP (non secure) version while if my homepage is set as
 "www.google.com" it works fine and rewrites to HTTPS.
