It's probably your browser trying to protect you from yourself, re: HTTPS. It works in non-user hostile browsers.
I’d forgotten all about this site, don’t remember ever using it but I certainly heard of it.
I have the following all set to false in about:config
network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist
dom.security.https_first
dom.security.https_first_pbm
browser.fixup.fallback-to-httpsVery useful for testing but don't make a habit to use it on some random websites.
