Comment:

 Upon further testing I found that this "bug" report is not correct.  The
 problem was due to my having not validated the website
 "https://maps.google.com/" when it presented an invalid security
 certificate at some point in the past.  I found this because, after
 disabling and re-enabling the Https-Everywhere addon, I once again visited
 the maps site, and it presented the validation warning anew.  My using the
 addon to visit the site indirectly was taking me to the https version of
 the site, which I must have declined in the past, telling Firefox not to
 access it. Now I have accepted the invalid certificate and I can access
 the site, even though I have re-enabled Https-Everywhere.  I am consoled
 to know that Firefox correctly averts access as instructed, but I also
 think it might be helpful to have an option to be advised when this occurs
 each time so that I can be aware of the cause.
