At some point, I visited the page with https, and now the browser will forever try to use that..
works for me. This can happen if this page used a permanent redirect (301) to https in the past. Such a redirect will be cached in Firefox. Another option would be that the site set a HSTS header in the past but there is no header present at the moment. A third option would be an "bug" with the url bar autocomplete in Firefox but that is easy to check when you use a link instead of typing the address.
