"Continue to HTTP site" doesn't work correctly on IP address

Issue: I wanted to visit a non-https website by the server's IP address. However, after pressing "Continue to HTTP site", the website loads forever. If I visit the website via its host name (www.example.com), It works.

1.If it stop loads over and over again after the “HTTPS-Only” mode disabled, read ahead, if not, I can’t help with it. 2.Then try to enable it and reach the IP address, when it loads, click right button and click "X" to stop load. 3.Click the locker button(on the left of address bar),then click the button under "HTTPS-Only" to disable it on this website(not just for a while/this time but for permanent), reload it. My English is not good and I wish the answer can help you.

Can you disable HTTP Only mode via the drop down that opens if you click the padlock ?

After I choose "Off", the site reloads, then the HTTPS-Only mode was activated again for the website. Well also, the website has an warning about "SSL UNKNOWN ISSUER" for the certificate. I think there's two warnings for that website (http and the certificate) makes firefox won't load the website?
