[HTTPS-Everywhere] HTTPS Everywhere can't redirect URL initially supplied on command line

[Seth David Schoen]

In Firefox 5.0 in Ubuntu's Natty Narwhal, with HTTPS Everywhere
1.0.0development3, a URL initally passed to Firefox from the
command line is never rewritten.  E.g.

$ firefox http://www.google.com/

results in a new Firefox process showing the unencrypted
http://www.google.com/.  However, manually typing "http://www.google.com/"
in the address bar works.  Also, running an additional "firefox"
command once Firefox is already running results in the existing Firefox
opening a new tab where the URL is properly secured.

HTTPS Everywhere believes that the rule has been applied in that the
rule is correctly displayed in the context menu and is green.  But in
reality, the rule has not actually been successfully applied.
