Comment (by gk):
I was under the impression the browser update itself is not touching
HTTPS-Everywhere. Thus, maybe the update of the add-on itself caused this?
The user can't rule out that. One thing that came to mind here is that our
extension signing exception patch plays a role here. But I tested that
quite thoroughly now again and did not come up with a scenario where this
breaks and a Mozilla engineer contacted me too stating the patch does what
we want. So, I am at a loss here.
While trying to figure out what goes wrong is one important thing maybe we
can come up with ways to recover from this. Or better: find ways that it
does not matter even if it happened under the current circumstances. One
of the things we might do is just disabling the updates for HTTPS-E and
ship it the same way as we ship Torbutton etc. The updates are not that
often and that would have other benefits at well. It is hard to tell,
though, if that would help not knowing the reason for the vanishing
HTTPS-E. On the other hand there is no report yet from a missing
Torbutton, so maybe it would? :)
