Not OP, but a few months ago I did experience a similar problem when setting up
a reverse-proxy for one of my private domains. For test purposes I initially
did not set up nginx to deal with TLS for this domain (but others already had
TLS enabled). Firefox (both with and without HTTPS Everywhere) would always
switch to TLS, resulting in a cert-mismatch warning and me ending up on a
different site than intended.
I wasted a few hours trying to figure out what was wrong with my proxy config,
before I realised (and verified with curl iirc) the fault was with the
browsers (iinm Chromium messed up similarly).
Once HTTPS was enabled for all domains on this server everything was working
as expected in browsers again.
