[HTTPS-Everywhere] Firefox Mobile

[Peter Eckersley]

I just tried playing around with this; it seems to work, except that as you
noted a lot of the rulesets are catastrophically incompatible with the
"mobile" versions of sites.  That includes both Google Search and Wikipedia,
which break completely.

So a Firefox Mobile for Android port would either require different rulesets,
a fake desktop User Agent, or perhaps some hybrid of the two (fake the UA
whenever a ruleset is active unless the ruleset says not to?)
