 From a post to the HTTPS everywhere mailing list a while back:

   It was recently discovered that *two of the features of !FastestFox*,
 (*awesomebar enhancement & linkify text urls*(i haven't yet explored the
 problem with this specific feature, could be unrelated to https-
 everywhere)) *were not working*.
   A trial and error disabling of every addon present in the test system
 was done. It was* found that the awesomebar enhancement worked when https-
 everywhere was disabled*.
   !FastestFox *does a google search as characters are typed into the
 Location Bar and lists the possible alternatives to the entered text. It
 is *suspected that enforcement of https by the https-everywhere addon is
 the root of the problem*
