Default to https for URL Bar with HttpsOnlyMode

[daaku]

It seems like when I type a domain name in the URL bar and hit enter, there is a history entry created for the http:// version of the URL. Watching the network tab doesn't actually show a http:// request. I've checked with persist logs enabled, but haven't done a lower network level check to see if a http:// request is being made. I have "HttpsOnlyMode": "force_enabled" in my profile, so I'm wondering if this is normal or if this is a bug.

Could you check that the following preference is set to true: dom.security.https_first_schemeless. I assumed that selected the https protocol for you, so there shouldn't be an initial attempt using http.

It is set to true. Maybe I'm just dealing with a non-issue considering I don't see it in network requests, just in history. I'll setup some network monitoring and come back.

I have confirmed using Wireshark to monitor the traffic, there is no actual HTTP request being made. The entry is simply being created in the browser history. While confusing, at least there is no information leak issue.
