What makes Firefox open youtube without https?

I've read that people had the problem of FF forcing https on every website, because of about:config URL formatting boolean that I have by default set on "true".

However, none of my pages really load in https, and if some do - I do not really pay attention or notice.

And... as with other pages, Youtube automatically is opened without https. But whenever I try to comment it force-reloads the page in https.

I've gone and tried to disable extensions, as I was under good impression that Avast was messing it up, and I believe for a time it worked and I breathed a sigh of relief, but eventually it returned, and now I have only Adblock Plus and Adblock Anti-Pop up, with Avast undeletable, but disabled.

Furthermore, I've tried to turn that boolean false and restart - youtube still forces https.

So the real question is - how to force Firefox to open Youtube with https by default? I read that google is forcing its websites in https. And if I open google via an URL dropout - it automatically opens in https, I couldn't give it any less damn, all is fine.

But youtube, apparently Google-affiliated website - still opens without https and only forces it when I comment. I remember this happening for almost a year(though multiple Firefox updates) and it's finally driving me nuts. The last thing I want is to switch to another browser, so, please, help me out here. All I want is to either have youtube load with https by default, or not force the change to https, I'm tired of watching\listening to a video, and even one click on thumb up or down - page reloads, video reloads...

Edit: Temporary found a solution in EFF addon that forced https where it's allowed. While it can be better than I expected, I prefer to avoid externals. So if there is some config\deep browser setting to just make Firefox detect this particular website in https - please still reply with that solution.
