Comment (by boklm):

 We currently have a test that check that https-everywhere is working by
 visiting an http URL which has a rule
 (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki) and checking that it results in
 visiting the https URL (we also check that it doesn't do that when the
 extension is disabled, in case the website starts redirecting
 automatically one day). So I think this test would have detected this
 problem.

 But I can also add a test that checks that rulesets.sqlite exists and is
 not empty just to be sure.

 It would probably be a good idea too to check for any exception thrown
 during TBB start-up, I will check if we can detect that (or if mozmill
 already makes an error in that case).
