 HTTPS Everywhere v1.2.1 on Firefox v9.0.1, Win7/x86_64.

 Having HTTPS Everywhere enabled breaks some games at pogo.com.  An example
 is "Mahjongg Dimensions", which can be played without being a paying
 pogo.com member.  (I have a non-paying registration.)

 From http://www.pogo.com/ enter "Mahjongg Dimensions" in the search box at
 the upper-right of the page, and select it when found.  So far, so good.
 The sequence of actions works regardless of HTTPS Everywhere state.

 Here's where it goes bad.  Click that yellow "Start Game" button at the
 left side of the page.  (There's a 20-second advertisement if you're
 nonpaying.) If HTTPS Everywhere is enabled the game start-up lasts
 forever.  If HTTPS Everywhere is disable globally or if all rules are
 disabled, then the game loads and plays normally.

 Note that disabling the specific pogo.com rule in HTTPS Everywhere has no
 effect on this behavior.  It is another rule that prevents the game from
 loading.  But which one?

 (There's an option lower on the page to communicate your score with
 "friends" on Facebook.  Thinking the Facebook rule might be at fault, I
 tried disabling that in HTTPS Everywhere.  No difference in behavior.)
