 In current Firefox 78 beta, when loading a random (wrong) .onion URL (e.g.
 foobar.onion) it gets redirected and/or rewritten to https://. In Browser
 Console, both requests (http:// and then https://) appear.

 This happens in 78 beta, setting a Tor SOCKS5 proxy + enabling DNS
 proxying, so it does not seem caused by one of our patches.
