unable to access local development with http://

I am using XAMPP and have set up virtual hosts, for local development. Since I've updated Firefox to 139.0.1 I have not been able to access my local website using the URL http://mysite.dev. Firefox is forcing me to use the URL https://mysite.dev.

I type http://mysite.dev and press enter and Firefox changes what I typed to https://mysite.dev

I have tried creating a certificate exception for mysite.dev but rather then showing my local website, Firefox ends up showing the default XAMPP dashboard as if I typed localhost as the URL.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance..
