Firefox does not append slashes. A website may redirect an url without
slash to an url with slash or vice versa though.

Actually, it doesn't. In general, there is no sense in
distinguishing files/directories in URLs - these terms just do not
apply. If the site redirects to an URL variant with or without
trailing slash, redirect target should be used. If the site allows
both variants, "canonical one" could be picked, e.g.  the variant
website uses itself. If you go to https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/
and click onto repository name link, you'll get onto
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports - and that is the canonical
url.
