 I am using Firefox 28, on Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro
 6,2.

 The drop-down menu for HTTPS Everywhere 3.5.1 under the "Tools" menu in
 Firefox does not appear at all when I hover my mouse over the "HTTPS
 Everywhere" menu item. When I look at the preferences for HTTPS
 Everywhere, the redirection rules are all blank. I tried clicking "reset
 to defaults". It had no effect.

 When I try to connect to a site, such as www.youtube.com, I get the normal
 http version, not the https version. If I manually enter
 https://www.youtube.com, I get the https version.

 I tried un-installing and re-installing HTTPS Everywhere 3.5.1, as well as
 installing 4.0development.15, and 4.0development.16. The problem still
 persists.

 My active Firefox add-ons are:
 Adblock Edge 2.1.1
 BetterPrivacy 1.68
 Download YouTube Videos as MP4 1.7.18
 DownloadHelper 4.9.22
 DownThemAll! 2.0.16
 DuckDuckGo Plus 0.3.16
 Firebug 1.12.8
 FxIF 0.4.7.1
 Ghostery 5.2.1
 HTTPS-Everywhere 3.5.1
 Screengrab (fix version) 0.97.24c
 User Agent Switcher 0.7.3

 I also use Tor Browser 3.5.4, which includes the HTTPS Everywhere 3.5.1
 add-on. HTTPS Everywhere works properly in Tor Browser 3.5.4.

 I also tried using HTTPS Everywhere 3.5.1 in Firefox 28 on OS X 10.9.2
 Mavericks. HTTPS Everywhere works properly in Firefox on Mavericks.

 My active Firefox add-ons in Mavericks are:
 Adblock Plus 2.5.1
 BetterPrivacy 1.68
 DuckDuckGo Plus 0.3.16
 Firebug 1.12.8
 Ghostery 5.2.1
 HTTPS-Everywhere 3.5.1
 User Agent Switcher 0.7.3
