@KanadeTachibana2 can you try to start Firefox with a fresh/blank profile? You can learn how to create one here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles

If this fixes your issue, then it might be add-on or about:config related instead of caused by HTTPS-Only-Mode.

I had something similar happen a while ago and somehow managed to fix it after fiddling with the whoogle/proxy config files for quite a bit... can’t remember the exact fix or version I used back then though.

Actually, I can reproduce this on my machine partially (links clicked directly from the readme):

  1. http://search.sethforprivacy.com/?cookies_disabled=1 (see 3.)
  2. http://whoogle.lunar.icu/?cookies_disabled=1 (see 3.)
  3. http://s.alefvanoon.xyz/?cookies_disabled=1:

  1. http://search.albony.xyz/?cookies_disabled=1:

Refreshing the page redirects to the HTTPS version in all cases. All other links worked fine.

Some notable things about my particular firefox:

  1. I use Multi-Account Containers
  2. I use Temporary Containers
  3. I’m on Firefox Developer Edition
  4. I have HTTPS-Only-Mode turned on
  5. I use uBlock Origin
