 [Reporting here since the zotero devs claim it's not an issue at their
 end]

 Saving from the ACM Digital Library using the Firefox Add-On zotero
 reliably fails when HTTPS Everywhere is enabled. There are no error
 messages reported to the console. The only relevant error log I could find
 was:

 Timestamp: 24/07/12 09:50:18
 Error: [Exception... "'Image HTTP->HTTPS redirection to
 https://dl.acm.org/images/ACM_mini.jpg' when calling method:
 [nsIContentPolicy::shouldLoad]" nsresult: "0x8057001e
 (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "<unknown>" data: no]

 Reproducible: always

 Steps to reproduce:
 1. Enable the HTTPS Everywhere add-on
 2. Try saving any item from ACM Digital Library using zotero (e.g.
 https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=567085, but I tried various, it is
 *not* an item-specific issue)

 Disabling HTTPS Everywhere (which is obviously not an option for me)
 reliably solves the issue.
