My library's OPAC (online public access catalog) website doesn't currently use HTTPS. Trying to view it with a secure connection 'crashes' it regardless of browser. However once I accidentally tried to visit the site via HTTPS and now it automatically tries to serve me the secure version no matter what I do.
I've had the same problem in Chrome for a while, and while I can use the solution presented in this similar question and it will fix it for a little while by my next session the HTTP to HTTPS redirect is back in chrome.
For that reason I've been using Firefox mostly until today when I accidentally pasted an HTTPS link to the website into Firefox now Firefox will only serve the HTTPS version as well.
