HTTP warning now has 5s delay before "Continue to HTTP Site" is clickable (lemmy.ml)

This has started happening a while ago (previously there was not perceptible delay) and luckily I don't have to visit HTTP sites very often but it is annoying and I would like to get rid of it.

I know HTTP is bad TYVM. I only use this HTTPS-only mode to forcibly upgrade to HTTPS whenever possible and be notified if it doesn't work.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to disable it?

If malware can write my hosts file it's probably all over anyways, it has admin access and just keylog everything and pull passwords directly from browsers.

I'm not saying it should be the default, I just want an about:config option to disable them (they used to have one for the insecure password field but it no longer works).
