• In short: The built-in rule "TorrentFreak.com" doesn't redirect TorrentFreak for me. In the rule, removing "www." from the value of the "rule" tags' "to" attributes fixes it.

• Details: I'm using HTTPS Everywhere 3.2.2.

Accessing http://torrentfreak.com/ or http://www.torrentfreak.com/ from the address bar, I am not redirected to HTTPS. In addition, whether I access the homepage in HTTPS or not, the links on the page which point inside the site, but to HTTP, do not redirect either.

Confirming with the Tamper Data add-on, accessing a page such as http://torrentfreak.com/ does not make the browser access https://torrentfreak.com/ .

The menu of HTTPS Everywhere's icon in the add-ons bar shows grayish-red text and an icon that looks like "refresh" for the rule. I've made sure the rule is enabled.

I've tried clicking the rule in the menu a few times, and also tried disabling and enabling it from the add-on's pop-up, and nothing seems to change.

I try copying the built-in rule to the user rules folder and changing it a bit, so that both "rule" tags' "to" attributes' values do not contain "www.".

I restart Firefox, disable the built-in rule, and make sure my own is enabled. TorrentFreak seems to be redirected properly now.

I try disabling my own rule and enabling the built-in rule once more and redirecting acts a bit differently. Confirming with Tamper Data: HTTPS Everywhere redirects http://torrentfreak.com/ to https://www.torrentfreak.com/ . https://www.torrentfreak.com/ has an HTTP 301 that redirects to http://torrentfreak.com/ . It redirects back and forth a few times and the browser appears just to be stuck loading the page.
