[HTTPS-Everywhere] Waterfox and https-everywhere icon

[John A. Wallace]

Do you have any problems using HTTPS-Everywhere or No-Script extensions on
your Nightly Builds?  Also, why is that I don't see x64 versions for Windows
when I look at this page from Mozilla:

http://nightly.mozilla.org/

Nevertheless, you managed to come up with one of them anyway?  :)  Thanks.

John
