the git commit 874fc9b230a08ed85d6d140b3b871f50f2bab835 suggests that
the test is actually being made based on the version number of firefox.

It seems like it would make more sense to test the current value of  the
security.mixed_content.block_active_content preference, which exists
since firefox 18 [0]

I've been running earlier versions of iceweasel with
security.mixed_content.block_active_content set to true since version 18
came out.

wouldn't testing by feature instead of testing by version make more sense?

Thanks for all your work on https-everywhere!  It's really useful.
