We’re currently switching the website over to HTTPS to keep aliens out of your hair. Pardon the mess as we sort things out. Let us know if you run into any issues.
Seems like something tries to rewrite all “http:” links to “https:”
including ones, which leads to sites which isn’t using HTTPS
(browser displays an error message when trying to visit such sites).
Cookies are not secured, and maybe in future consider fixing server headers (look at Mozilla Observatory / SecurityHeaders.io)

Note: the “nightlies” version does work propery. It’s the milestone edition that is giving problems.

And, by some reason, “http:” prefixes is removed from forum posts.

Users, don’t forget to change your “forum” and “bug tracker” passwords to more reliable ones.
