I don't want any part of my sites exposed to the wider internet, so I'm not going to have ssl certificates.

I don't want to use self signed certificates either. Since it's all local, http is fine. Firefox should not override access of http to https.

I've turned off HTTPS-Only Mode, I've followed instructions from so: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30532471/firefox-redirects-to-https

At this point, I can only assume this is a bug?

Note that you can no longer use some domains like .dev locally because its owner (Google) has added this domain to the HSTS preload list and a secure connection is automatically enforced.

Can't you use HTTPS-Only and create an exception for this origin ?
