https-everywhere is causing an issue on google searches if google
search is disabled in the add-on but the add-on is still enabled for
other sites.

To reproduce this.

1) enable https-everywhere in firefox 6.0.1.  Disable Google Search on
the preferences window for https-everywhere.

2) goto www.google.com (with 'google instant' enabled in search settings)

3a) type a search into the textbox (google instant changes the search screen)

3b) press enter after your search is completed or not, doesn't matter.

4) Click one of the links in the search results.

5) Page refreshes to google search/ results page

6) Click link again and you go to the expected page.

NOTE: With google instant disabled there are no refreshes.  With
https-everywhere diabled there is no refresh.  With 'Google Search'
enabled in preferences there is no refresh.  Seems to have started
after moving to 6.0 firefox.

The URL's:

After results are displayed:
http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#sclient=psy&hl=en&safe=off&site=webhp&source=hp&q=test&pbx=1&oq=test&aq=f&aqi=g5&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=1687l2029l0l2958l4l3l0l0l0l0l282l801l2-3l3l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.&fp=39972cc0da070512&biw=1440&bih=696

After clicking a link and the refresh the url changes to this:
http://www.google.com/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&safe=off&site=webhp&source=hp&q=test&pbx=1&oq=test&aq=f&aqi=g5&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=1687l2029l0l2958l4l3l0l0l0l0l282l801l2-3l3l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.&biw=1440&bih=696&emsg=NCSR&noj=1&ei=J8NnTqrBJoaesQKz1e3xDQ
