Out of the box this setting is already set to “don’t enable”.
I went down this path yesterday. You’ve got to change a bunch of about:config settings to
disable the behaviour we are seeing here.
Generally speaking the default behaviour isn’t bad. Between this and hsts preload we are
seeing a world where SSL is the new default, but that’s not a discussion for now.
I know I can fix Firefox to disable this, but Johnny’s fix has been effective and will
survive browser upgrades and reset of defaults.

FWIW, Firefox has a setting under "Privacy & Security" called "HTTPS
Only Mode". I quote -
"... If HTTPS-Only Mode is enabled, then Firefox will upgrade all connections to
HTTPS ..."
So try setting that to "Don't enable HTTPS Only Mode".
