Comment(by pde):
So, working from memory here without referring back to the source:
"Check certificates using tor for anonymity" should really be "only check
certificates using Tor for anonymity". If it's unchecked, it means the
observatory will use a direct SSL connection if it cannot find Tor.
That option will be greyed out if HTTPS Everywhere failed to successfully
identify a method for making requests through Tor when it started. But if
Tor is installed or running or works correctly on a future browser
startup, the observatory will switch to using Tor at that time, even if
this option is unchecked.
