 When you visit the MP3 Music store on Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.de, pressing
 any of the play buttons on music previews doesn't play sound. Disabling
 the HTTPS Everywhere add-on resolves the issue. Amazon.com works fine, so
 I think this is a fault in the rules for the non-US Amazon websites.

 I'm on Firefox 17.0.1 on Linux. HTTPS Everywhere add-on version 3.0.4.
 I've had this issue for over a month, and finally confirmed it today by
 disabling all my add-ons except HTTPS Everywhere (no sound played for non-
 US Amazon websites) and then also disabling HTTPS Everywhere (now all
 Amazon websites play sound).

 As an example to help reproduce, here are links to same album on
 Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de and Amazon.com. Only the last one will play sound
 when a play button is pressed with HTTPS Everywhere enabled.
