Furthermore, what does "making the firefox search box be https" have to do with having users log in to secure by default. I suppose we might not want people to loose their login if they're logged into insecure and search via firefox with secure login - is that what you're concerned about, or is it something else?
I was thinking it was just wanting to ramp up load internally first (where it's really easy and fast to ramp back down if needed) and then expand to other places when we're more confident.
Turning on HTTPS by default for all logged in users is one of those ways to ramp up load in a controlled and easily reversible way.
