Although this isn't really a bug report, "how to report bugs
effectively": http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

It might be worth trying an Abrowser session in safe mode:

If that doesn't help, try using a new profile, and report back:

See if you can find something reproducible, like "I visit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisquel and it redirects me to
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisquel every time."

Please note that any HTTPS website can redirect you back to HTTP, or
include a link to the HTTP version of their website. You could use an
addon like HttpFox to check the headers that are being sent, to get more
of an idea of what's happening.

Also, are you using your own computer? Or have you installed any
certificates in your web browser? These may sound like a dumb questions,
but another university I go to just started doing a TLS MITM attack with
forged certificates. (I am in the process of complaining about this).
Apparently some schools/universities/workplaces encourage their network
users to install their own root certificate so they can spy on what
their doing over TLS, or automatically redirect them to HTTP plaintext.
