Comment:

 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.

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