+===== Stop redirecting to https =====
+It my happen, that firefox replaces http by https when trying to reach a site. I susspect, this happens, when there has been a redirect to https before (or even you just used the site with https before). However, if http and http content do not mach - or even if there is a problem with the https site- you'd prefer to access the http URL. Alas, the following steps seem to work:
+  - Select "Clear resenct history ..." from the "History" menu
+  - Unselect everything but "Site Preferences"
+  - (Meaning, select "Site Preferences" if not selected already)
+  - Select an apropriate time window (i.e. when you visited the site in question the last(? first?) time)

+===== Invisible Checkboxes =====
+After some Update, checkboxes on webpages were not visible any more. Utilizing my favourite web search enging((www.startpage.com)) made me realize other people had the problem too. In my case (running XFCE under Ubuntu 16.04) the solution was to start [[https://github.com/KeithDHedger/Xfce-Theme-Manager|XFCE-Theme-Manager]]((Unfortunately a dead project)), select tab //controls// and switch from //Orion// to //Murrina-Tangoesque//.
