Ok lately for awhile now.. I try to load up www.gog.com in firefox and it ALWAYS will try to load https://www.gog.com (Tried this with a few diff PCs) Now the https will always give a page cant be displayed error, then I have to take the s off and hit enter for it to load up. Not sure what changed lately that causes that. Anyone else have this issue? Also did try logging out and so to see if that would fix.

Happens to me too.

Happens to a lot of people, there was also already a thread about it I think

If you are using Firefox, clear your history. By default, FF tries to connect to the secure site, if you had visited the secure site before. Clearing your history should solve this problem.

The thread is here.

Admin reply (and solution) is here.

Thanks for the info. Sadly seems even if you manually delete all the history for gog.. it still does it. Now clear all history could work as it was suggested. Sadly thats not ideal for me, as on this PC. I use alot of that history, even from months ago and to have the auto complete url come up is good. Not to mention my google searches, so I know which link path I followed.

I'll just be blunt: Bookmarks are your friends. Use them! Seriously, mainly relying on your browser history alone can be considered a bad habit.

I make it a point to periodically purge all cached online data.

It's Firefox trying to be cleverer than it is. Delete every https://www.gog.com link from your history and you'll stop having this problem.

Several months ago GOG moved their https pages to secure.gog.com instead of www.gog.com for various reasons. But Firefox remembers, and if it sees you going to a http://www.gog.com address and it remembers you going to an https version of that same URL then it will "helpfully" send you to https instead.

I do that for main things I need. However sometimes in other tasks, I need to follow a trail of solutions and ideas I had found. Try sorting 100-300 bookmarks.. yea.. just not ideal vs 1 search then following the path I know. =)

I've been using https://secure.gog.com lately. Yes, it's more typing that just gog.com, but once it's in the history or among the bookmarks, it's just gog.com and arrow down a couple times.
