How to Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in Firefox Browser – Guide

Recent versions of the Mozilla Firefox web browser (version 83.0 and later) have a new HTTPS Only Mode option in the Preferences or Firefox Options window. In that tutorial let’s explain what this new feature is for and how to use the. When entering a website’s URL into the Firefox browser, you may have noticed the words HTTP or HTTPS at the beginning of the URL in the address bar. HTTP and HTTPS are actually names of protocols that establish a connection between your browser and the website’s server. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is an old protocol and doesn’t offer much security. The data transmitted between your browser and the website server with this protocol can be modified or viewed. On the other hand, HTTPS is an improved and more secure version of this protocol that encrypts the connection between your browser and the website using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). It is always recommended to visit websites that use the HTTPS protocol for connection. Almost all websites, including banks, organizations, etc. use the HTTPS protocol for secure encrypted connection. Mozilla has introduced a new option in the Nightly version of the browser. When enabled, it only allows opening websites over HTTPS and denies connections with unencrypted HTTP.
