-In the past a Firefox Mobile port of HTTPS Everywhere was made impractically
-complicated by the Electrolysis threading architecture used in that variant of
-Firefox (<a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/2471">ticket</a>).  However with
-the implementation of the simple NSIHTTPChannel.redirectTo() API in Firefox
-20+ (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765934">ticket</a>) we are probably very
-close to having a trivial port of HTTPS Everywhere to Firefox on Android.

-This would make a great GSOC project for someone who'd like to learn some
-introductory skills with hacking on the internals of real web browsers!
