Hi,

It is in pending rules:

In the development version there's now a scrollbar, but we're still
definitely interested in improving this interface and having categories
or hierarchies of rules.

The addons.mozilla.org privacy policy isn't as protective as the
privacy policy of either of the organizations that develops HTTPS
Everywhere (EFF and the Tor Project) and so we wanted to be sure
that people still had the protections of our privacy policies when
installing our software.

Once installed, HTTPS Everywhere _does_ automatically update over
the Internet.  However, there hasn't been an official release that
was designated as automatically installable for some time.  There
should be a new one in the next few days.
