New Address bar "Visit ..." entry tries http://<url I entered> first
The new address bar feature that adds an entry for "Visit url" for whatever url you've typed in seems to be defaulting to http when attempting to go to a website.
If I type "google.com" into the address bar and select "visit google.com", I end up with the address https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl which tells me they did the redirect to https for me.
For an internal LAN resource at my job, the website is only hosted on https and when I attempt to go to it with the new visit entry, I end up getting a timeout since it is attempting standard http. All entries referring to this website in my bookmarks or history are with https.
Is there a way to force it to try https first? Do I have to use https everywhere or some other such addon to get this behavior?

You can set browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete to false to remove the Visit page suggestion from the location bar drop down list. Note that his is not really a new feature, but it has now been enabled in Firefox 43 by default.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
I don't want to remove the feature because, according to other questions related to this feature, eventually we won't have the option of disabling it. I'd prefer instead for it to guess https:// first instead of http://
