How to edit HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) settings?
I want the connections to some particular sites to be always using https, so I need to edit Firefox's HSTS settings, but I don't know where the HSTS setting file is. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this task?
I use both Ubuntu 14.04.1 and Windows 8. So solutions for Linux and Windows are both welcome and needed.
(I know there is an add-on called "Force TLS," but I hope to do it without an add-on.)

hello, please use the addon you already know about in order to edit these settings: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/force-tls/
the hsts settings would be stored within the permissions.sqlite database in your profile but manually editing it could do more harm than good...
thank you for your reply. I'll go install Force-TLS.
Hello,
unfortunately the mentioned AddOn does not work for me.
I added domain.com and ticket all subdomains: I can still access the site using only HTTP.
So the question remains: How do I remove/add HSTS for a site.
The following steps for removing HSTS were not successful: - Disable all AddOns (just to be sure) - Close all tabs - Clear cookies for the site - Clear all browser cache - Select forget about this site in history - Restart Firefox
Using a new profile for Firefox did work!
Should I open a new question for this?
