TOPSITE1.jpg
Adding a topsite manually has many differences between what the user adds, and what the user sees when he edits, and what the user sees when he clicks on the topsite.
Tested on
Windows10 64bit, MacOS 10.15, Ubuntu 20 64bit
Firefox Release 86 Reproducible
Firefox nightly 88.0a1 Reproducible
Firefox Beta 87.0b9 Reproducible
Steps
- Launch Firefox
- Open new tab
- Add new topsite manually
- For topsite enter Title: Playstation , url : www.playstation.com
- after topsite is created , edit the topsite
- Click on the topsite
Actual result
- When i edit the topsite i see *HTTP://.... *
- when i click, it goes to *HTTPS://... * in the url bar.
Expected result
- the user added www, but on edit it should be https: , and when its clicked its https

Playstation is re-directing the user from http to https. If for example, the site URL was still using http, e.g. http://example.com, then no redirect would occur. If a user manually enters a URL, we should respect it even if it ends up being re-directed by the website.
I think what could be actionable is to use the https protocol by default if none is provided since it surpasses http in popularity. And it's very rare for an https website to switch to http.
Thus, I don't think this a bug, but more of a task.
