[HTTPS-Everywhere] What's the preferred means to refresh or reload the rulesets without restarting Firefox?

[William Budington]

Hey J.B.,

The extension has changed significantly recently, so I don't think any of the older methods will work.

Do you mean re-loading the rulesets from the file on disk?  Disabling and re-enabling the extension should do the trick.

Hope this helps,
Bill
