Details

Tested on Firefox 15.0.1 - If user has previously visited a site via HTTP (i.e http://google.com), subsequent attempts to visit https://google.com will redirect the user to the NON-HTTPS version of the site. This can be worked-around by adding extra characters (i.e /?) to the URL but otherwise, unsophisticated users would inadvertently be downgraded to HTTP even though they intend to use HTTPS. This seems related to Bug #720081 (which is marked 'fixed') but problem persists.
