 I wanted to put HTTPS-Everywhere into an RPM so its files are tracked, but
 installing the addon globally like this breaks the rule listing.  It seems
 that opening the primary rule directory is hard-coded to use the user's
 profile.

 Attached is a quick patch to check in the addon install location instead
 of the user profile.  It should be noted that I have zero experience
 writing Mozilla addons, so there is a 50/50 chance of it destroying your
 computer.

 I'll also include the RPM spec if it helps anyone test a global install
 more easily.  (It is intended for a recent version of Fedora.)
