firefox started adding https to every url.
This behavior just started today. All of a sudden https is being added to every url. Every page is being blocked as a "security problem" regardless of history or path used.
This is not happening in IE on the same computer.
It has never happened before.

Hello,
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
- In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button
, click Help 
and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
- In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on Help (or click on Help in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
The browser is saying that I am trying to use a secure connection. How do I turn this off????
I didn't turn it on that I am aware of.
Here is an example of a URL flagged as Potentially Dangerous with unrecognized certificate:
"fhr.cdn.mozilla.net" Really? So Mozilla is unsafe?
There is an extension that turns requests for http to https. I think it is HTTPS Everywhere, or something like that. I would check your extensions to see if there is one that behaves that way.
I can't find anything with this nameing.
