I thought a browser was supposed to warn you of this "mixed content"
situation (an http site with https images, for instance), but checking
Firefox apparently it doesn't!

Anyway, it seems like the only proper solution here is to not use
privoxy at all, this way https and http both present exactly the same
header information.  But this of course means taking all the
identifying information out of your browser - easier said than done.
