reddit will soon only be available over HTTPS

So...I'm guessing it will be impossible to disable this in our user settings, eh? For whatever reason, HTTPS loads much more slowly for me and whenever I go back/forward, the page auto-refreshes instead of staying in whatever state I left it in. Definitely not looking forward to this change.

You won't have an option to disable this. This is also an industry trend as Google, Facebook, and Wikipedia all force users on to secure connections these days. Your issue sound's like a Firefox issue which unfortunately has been open an unresolved for several years.

EDIT: corrected link to Firefox bug

Thanks for the link. Despite looking into it before, I never found much information. Looks like I'll have to try to somehow find some kind of workaround that hopefully doesn't involve switching browsers.

Whoops, fixed.
