   #https I'm using the "https everywhere" extension in Firefox. I just discovered a major logical flaw in it: sometimes a page jus isn't available as https, and you can change the protocol manually (back) to http. So far so good. But when you do this, it still attempts to load resources (such as scripts) via https - while you can pretty much expect they won't be available under https either - after all the main page wasn't written to support it. Result: a page that misbehaves badly because essential scripts (silently) don't load. !grrr It took me way too long to figure this out! For now I'll leave the extension disabled, for some sites I frequent this is just too disruptive. In addition, the extension cannot be configured to allow/disallow http for specific urls - another weakness. #logicalbug

     @thomask hmm, interesting. I had a little icon in the statusbar, which showed a number (presumably resources) but clicking and right-clicking both did nothnig at all. The only option under Preferences in the add-ons page is for reporting or not.
