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
