I've used this for a few months now. It ugrades non-https connections on secure pages automatically. Very useful. Even big sites like microsoft, google images serve things over http

dom.security.https_only_mode = true

Thanks for mentioning this! This about:config flag is also available in Firefox ESR 78 already (but there is no GUI for it yet).

Are there about:config entries to handle excluded sites?

It seems no / I could not find any.

I was interested in this as well. Unfortunately, excluded sites are configured using PermissionManager <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/1640853> which stores data in permissions.sqlite.

I tried this but I ran into a lot of issues so I just turned it off again.

For example: Twitter would periodically refuse to load. You'd have to force refresh Twitter for it to load once again.

The twitter problem is not related to this. Even I get it with this tweak disabled. It's definitely some other about:config tweak we have enabled.
