How to view router http address and stop firefox switching to https, HTTPS-Only Mode not enabled
I'm trying to view my routers page at http://192.168.43.1.
Even though I type the full address with http: at the start Firefox automatically inserts https//.
This doesn't work as the router doesn't have a secure page.
I've gone into Firefox settings and found HTTPS-Only Mode is not enabled.
How do I view an HTTP site?

I've found the only way to access the router is by going to http://tplinkrepeater.net can't go direct so it looks like a tplink problem although Firefox error handling was a bit crap.

terryswileyfox, I've had similar problems in the past. What worked for me was to enter just the numbers part of the router's IP address into the address bar.
That is, rather than entering "http://x.x.x.x", you could try entering just "x.x.x.x".
Hi, Thanks for the suggestion but that doesn't work.
Even when I type 192.168.43.1 Firefox inserts https://
I installed Google Chrome and tried accessing the router.
Chrome came back with a ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
So it looks like there is a problem with the router and Chrome makes it clear with the error message while Firefox tries the https:// to see if that works and when it fails it doesn't explain what happened making it look like Firefox has failed.
Is this a Firefox bug that need reporting?
