[HTTPS-Everywhere] Wiktionary lookup addons broken

[Peter Eckersley]

Hi Axel,

Unfortunately there are some problems with the Firefox API for rewriting
requests (or lack thereof) that cause this:

In the caes of Wikimedia-related addons, the easy answer is that those addons
should be rewritten to make requests to the https versions of Wikimedia's
sites.
