This problem has come up with other search-site rules involving the
submission of a form to a hard-coded HTTP target.  It seems like it
needs to be fixed on the sites (don't hard-code the protocol scheme
in the form submission target) or in Firefox (change the rules for
when this warning is displayed so that HTTPS Everywhere gets to
rewrite the target before the warning appears).
