I just pulled over the upgrade and seem to have run into
a glitch. TTBOMK, when I used to (with the older version)
head over to wikipedia, I _always_ got routed to the
secure version. In other words typing:
http://en.wikipedia.org
- was converted to:
https://secure.wikimedia.org
(hmm, never noticed that wikipedia:wikimedia switch)
anyway, since the download, when I type in the
regular "wikipedia.org" I seem to be going to
the url I typed, namely the cleartext one.
If anyone else out there had Mac OS X 10.5.8 and
you're running FF, could you see if you get the
same results?

and also... the NY Times.
with the new update I'm getting:
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/nyregion/index.html
as opposed to:
https://www.nytimes.com/pages/nyregion/index.html
Thanks
