I have the same issue, even though the link actually is http, my browser tries to open the https version, no matter what. It looks like https://netflix.com had hsts with includeSubdomains at one point in time which my browser has still cached.

Are you using the https-everywhere plugin? I remember there being a bug where it redirected to https for subdomains of a domain that is https enabled.

I'm not him (or her), but I've got the same problem w/ FF48.0 - and, no, I don't have that add-on. I ended up just using Chrome for now.

I have no problem opening https://netflix.com on Mozilla Firefox. But, the problem arises like what people said when opening Netflix techblog using https.

GP didn't say https://netflix.com didn't work. He said it sets HSTS for all subdomains, hence forcing https in places it doesn't work.

Sorry, I misunderstood about it. Now, I know what you mean after re-read that comment.
