Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:40 acat]:
 > This is a bit unfortunate, nice catch. I think this must be an https-
 everywhere issue, but I'd have to investigate a bit to be sure. I will
 open a ticket about it.
 >
 > For now, I changed the logic to always start the http observer fallback
 and remove it when we are able to load some rules directly, which should
 handle this case.

 That is a good solution.

 > This is the revised branch: ​https://github.com/acatarineu/tor-
 browser/commit/28005+5.
