Hi Klaus,

I think this means that HTTPS Everywhere is breaking the search suggestions
feature, since your change causes HTTP URLs that were being transformed into
HTTPS to no longer be transformed into HTTPS.

I thought this bug had been fixed earlier (so that we were able to make the
search suggestions secure without breaking them).  I guess we need to look
into it again!

Could you tell me what version of Firefox you're using?
