 a) Redirects networkforgood.org to https://www1.networkforgood.org/www1 ,
 and FF loads an invalid certificate page. This redirect happens even if I
 just hit enter after FF auto-completes address or if I select the http
 entry in the drop down. With add-on disabled, page loads as
 http://www1.networkforgood.org/, which is no problem.

 b) But with news.ycombinator.org, FF redirects to https page both when I
 hit enter after auto-complete or when I select the http version from
 address menu drop down.

 c) With getfirebug: When I enter the http address, it auto redirects to
 https. Also, I can't edit
 https://blog.getfirebug.com/2012/06/22/firebug-1-10-beta-1/ to http; FF
 always redirects to https even if I manually type in complete address.
