Comment (by legind):
It looks like adding the ability to block FTP requests when the "Block all
unencrypted requests" option is checked triggered this warning:
https://github.com/EFForg/https-
everywhere/issues/16377#issuecomment-415492846. This is really
unintuitive from the warning itself, and in my opinion Firefox should
change that wording - it only serves to discourage security-conscious
people from using the extension. I apologize for this unexpected and
frightening warning.
