 Using

   firefox-16.0.2-1.fc16.x86_64
   HTTPS-E 3.0.4 (or 4.0dev2, same results)

 Test page

   http://sid.rstack.org/blog/index.php/567-chasse-au-lapin

 1. Create a fresh Firefox profile -> video OK
 2. Install HTTPS-E 3.0.4 (or 4.0dev2), restart -> video FAIL

 All following actions are performed via HTTPS-E toolbar icon menu.

 3. Disable HTTPS-E "Vimeo" Ruleset -> video OK
 4. Enable HTTPS-E "Vimeo" Ruleset -> video FAIL

 As expected so far: the "Vimeo" rule might need a correction for such type
 of embedded videos (since it says « Sorry -- There was an error
 encountered while loading this video. »), however this is not the issue I
 am reporting here :b

 5. Disable HTTPS-E as a whole -> video **FAIL**

 This was unexpected.
 Expected : video OK

 6. Restart browser (HTTPS-E still "Disabled") -> video OK.
 7. Enable HTTPS-E as a whole -> video FAIL
 8. Disable HTTPS-E "Vimeo" Ruleset -> video OK
 9. Enable HTTPS-E "Vimeo" Ruleset -> video FAIL

 As expected so far again.
 Then to confirm the present issue:

 10. Disable HTTPS-E as a whole -> video **FAIL**

 This was unexpected, as previously.
 Expected: video OK

 So, the ruleset seems to keep being applied until browser restart, despite
 HTTPS-E being set to "Disabled".

 NB. ticket set to trac Version "HTTPS-E 4.0dev1" since I can't find any
 "HTTPS-E 3.0.4" or "HTTPS-E 4.0dev2" in the list.
