Comment (by dcf):

 The Mozilla report says that JavaScript running in an HTTPS page cannot
 open non-secure WebSocket connections (ws:// rather than wss://). This is
 true. It is a consideration for us, but it is not really a problem. We
 have a FAQ entry that explains a bit about why things are the way they
 are:

 It's not a problem for us, because there are more than enough plain HTTP
 pages that host the proxy.
