The Evolution of HTTPS Adoption in Firefox

We at Mozilla believe that people deserve privacy and one of the most important pieces of web privacy is provided through ubiquitous encryption. Because of this, we shipped HTTPS-First by default as of Firefox 136 (March 4th). The mechanism upgrades all page loads to HTTPS and also includes an automated fallback to HTTP if the page does not support HTTPS or does not load fast enough. While this opportunistic upgrading mechanism does not protect against active network attackers, it still favours HTTPS and prevents known pervasive internet monitoring attacks.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don’t be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don’t be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don’t post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don’t post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you’re concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don’t accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you’ve gotten yours.
