Windows 7 SP1 HP
Firefox 4.0
HTTPS-Everywhere 0.9.5
HTTPS Finder 0.34
-------------------------
When a go a HTTP URL and HTTPS Finder finds a HTTPS URL for the website 
it says "It looks like there's an encrypted version of this page, Would 
you like to go there now?"

I click "Yes, go HTTPS" and the web page reopens at the HTTPS URL.

Once at the HTTPS URL a pop-up bar comes up and asks "Do you want to 
remember this rule for HTTPS-Everywhere?

I click "Yes, remember this rule"

The rule is added to  the "HTTPSEverwhereUserRules" folder in 
c:\users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\txyeommd.default\HTTPSEverwhereUserRules"

The next time that I go to the HTTP URL of that website HTTPS Finder 
again finds the HTTPS URL for the website and again it says "It looks 
like there's an encrypted version of this page, Would you like to go 
there now?"

Again I click "Yes, go HTTPS" and the web page reopens at the HTTPS URL.

Once at the HTTPS URL a pop-up bar comes up and again asks "Do you want 
to remember this rule for HTTPS-Everywhere?

If I click "Yes, remember this rule"

The rule is added again to  the "HTTPSEverwhereUserRules" folder in 
c:\users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\txyeommd.default\HTTPSEverwhereUserRules"

The second rule added has the same name of the first rule added for this 
website except the second rule name has a plus a -1 after it.   I do 
this a third time then I get a third rule with the same name but a -2 
added to it and so on.

Have a nice day
