On .LAN domains, how to stop firefox switching to https (when it's not available) and stop complaining about self-signed certificates when it is available ? (lemmy.ml)

I'm just so annoyed of fighting this all the time.

If I can't figure this out I'm going to disable all https redirecting and all certificate errors off so I can have some peace

EDIT: I do not wish to manage certificates I do not want to setup private key infrastructure I don't want to use real internet domain names I don't want to manually install certificates into browsers after fishing them out of my ephemeral virtual machines

I just want to, add exception for *.lan for https auto redirect and auto-accept self-signed certificates as valid. This is not much to ask.

I don't think you should disable self signed warnings. It would be better to import those than disabling the warning as it is a very important warning.

As for disabling https only mode for certain URLs, I don't know, and it would be a useful feature. Some of my corporate stuff oddly redirects to HTTPS but just gives a blank screen rather than a connection refused or something. Not sure what it is. Probably something is misconfigured somewhere but it's not something in my control. I didn't have time to really inspect it so I just disabled the https only mode for my work laptop.
