Steps to reproduce:
When downloading updates for firefox I have consistently noticed by viewing the traffic that it uses port 80. It would inspire more confidence if this was going over https and directly to a mozilla controlled server.
Actual results:
firefox downloads happen over port 80
Expected results:
firefox downloads happen over port 443

I wish to switch to firefox and won't due to this issue. I am sure others would find this very surprising.

Thanks for the report. This is a known issue. Given that the updates themselves are signed, it's not as bad as it seems, but it's still something being addressed in the near term regardless.
