(I verified this with your site just now, but I know this is true in general because I use the "HTTPS Everywhere" extension, which tries the https version of every URL by default, even if I type in or follow a link to the plain http version. I just allow Firefox to accept the wordpress.com certificate for those sites).

This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to unlikelyexplanations.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.

What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
unlikelyexplanations.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for the following names:
*.wordpress.com , wordpress.com

(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

Thanks for looking into this. It still breaks for me with Firefox 21.0. It only fails for me under very specific circumstances, so if you don't mind, would you please see whether you can reproduce the problem by doing this:

1. Go to https://unlikelyexplanations.com (it's important that this is httpS, not http).
2. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.
3. Click on the "Older Posts" button.

When I do this with httpS, I don't get any additional posts, and the "Older Posts" button disappears.

Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:

1. Try clearing your browser’s cache: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

My blog uses the Quintus theme and has infinite scroll turned off. On the home page, there are two buttons labelled "Older posts": one at the top, and one at the bottom. The one at the top works fine (if you click it, it will take you to /page/2 of the blog), but the one of the bottom fails on the https version of my blog.

On the http version (http://unlikelyexplanations.com), clicking on this button will cause an animated spinning icon to display (the kind of thing that indicates that something is loading) and then append earlier posts to the same page. That's fine. On the https version (https://unlikelyexplanations.com), clicking on the bottom "Older Posts" button will cause the spinning icon to display and the button to disappear, but no additional posts will appear (i.e., after the icon stops spinning, the page looks exactly like it did before the button was clicked, except that the button is gone).

I've seen the same behavior on Firefox 20.0, Chrome 26.0.1410.65, and Safari 6.0.4. Before testing, I cleared cache and cookies on Chrome and Safari but not Firefox.

Is it possible for me to disable https visit? Even a 404 page for https visit looks better to me.

The one at the bottom is different. On the non-SSL version of my blog (http://unlikelyexplanations.com), clicking on this button will cause an animated clock-like icon to display (the kind of thing that indicates that something is loading) and then append earlier posts to the same page. That's fine. On the SSL version (https://unlikelyexplanations.com), clicking on the bottom "Older Posts" button will cause the animated icon to display and the button to disappear, but no additional posts will appear (i.e., after the animation stops, the page looks exactly like it did before the button was clicked, except that the button is gone).

Last years 2012 was a success in the areas of freedom, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, thanks to the use of HTTPS in mainstream services and websites.

I think it would be a huge win for the internet and for privacy, to enable the option for blog administrators to protect their users through the use of https only on their blogs, and also to utilize custom https certificates for domains hosted on wordpress.com

For me, it is such a huge issue that I am considering migrating wordpress.com permanently (though I am admittedly a huge fan of HTTPS).

To disable HTTPS, uncheck the 'Browser Connection' checkbox in your Personal Settings.

Are you able to clear the browser's cookies and cache on that?

The fact that it's adding www. seems to be suspect to me. Also, which version of Firefox?

siciliannabeauty, which browser and mobile device?

Is there a different place I need to adjust something? Thank you
