 Hi!
 I've had this problem ever since I started using this addon.
 When I click a link or press enter in the url-bar before the page is
 loaded in HTTPS the HTTP url is stored in the history.
 Which is of curse a problem because it has a negative effect on
 performance, increases the database size, and makes searching more
 difficult.
 Couldn't this be prevented?

 Also, if the http urls get in the history doesn't it mean that a http
 connection is established first. Isn't that a security/performance issue?
